sonyxperiageek: So if this uses BitTorrent, can it "see" your IP address just like when downloading something on BitTorrent? Wouldn't this be the sort of content that will get you a "three strikes" notice?

In theory, yes.

However it is common knowledge that only music studios are actually submitting notices right now, so your chances of being caught when using a service that only offers movies are approximately zero.
