If you are downloaded copyrighted materials, you can get sued by the person or organization owning the rights. However, the way it usually goes when someone is caught is that they are charged with a felony. This can result in fines and prison time. This is the same for illegally downloaded music, TV shows, and movies. See the related links below.
