I wouldn't worry much about it unless you actually get sued. They threaten to sue everyone and their mothers to convince you to settle out of court. Unless they choose to make an example of you, that's probably as far as it will go.
Downloading copyrighted material is legal, uploading it is not.
I also don't think I'd rely on the idea that a private tracker would keep me safe. If I can get an account, MAFIAA members surely could too.
