Yup, and you can sue Sig Sauer if someone shoots you with one of their guns. You'll lose due to having no basis for their culpability, but you can try.

the difference is sig sauer has money, lawyers and a few centuries of lobbying on their side, plus being the right side of capital... your average torrent client developer has none of those to fight back with, and is the wrong side of capital.

Feel like Sig Sauer et. al. might at least make a amicus curiae though, considering the legal ramifications.
