if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn't be held accountable. thoughts?

In this day and age everyone should be using a MAC address spoofer, especially on Public Wifi, many of them track mac addresses and impose limits based on time and data usage.

If you've ever been using public Wifi and noticed it got slow or stops working after a time, that's why. Some will even be up-front about it by asking you to pay for it after a time.
