Is it hard to get caught pirating?

Downloading copyrighted material whether for personal use and/or distribution (seeding) is illegal, as is merely streaming copyrighted material and you can be prosecuted for it. The likelyhood of you getting caught though is still slim. Even if they knew you were doing it, you'd get a warning from your ISP.

Can you get caught downloading pirated software?
If I use software that was pirated years ago, can I still be caught now? If you mean software that you're still using today was copied years ago without a licence, then yes, you can still be “caught” by the rights owner, because every time you use the software you're committing a new infringement.

Does anyone get caught pirating?
Yes. That's what is the most common when normal people are caught sharing files. Much like private parking laws though it is pretty unenforceable. Unfortunately most people pay up rather than risk a legal case.
