It's easy for the hollywood copyright holders to just load the .torrent/magnet link into a bittorrent client and look at the list of peers.

Now of course, you can make it difficult to join the torrents - for example, by using private trackers - but that makes it as difficult for me as for the hollywood copyright holders.

Then just IP address -> Court order -> ISP -> Your home address and send the threatening letter.
