Question about pirating

Background: So I taught my brother how to pirate things off the internet but forgot to tell him to look at the comments to make sure no one is tracking the certain torrent. A couple weeks later, we get a nasty letter from Comcast telling us to delete everything we have stolen and that our IP address is now being tracked to make sure we don't do it again.

Question: Is it just my brothers computer that is being tracked or are they also tracking every computer that logs into our wireless network? Basically, am I safe to torrent if I use a different computer than my brothers?

They are tracking your entire External Ip address. which means EVERYONE who logs into your network. http://peerblock.com/ use this. it stops anyone from figuring out what you are torrenting or even if you are torrenting.

yeah but i think you can get in shit for stealing satellite signals, whereas you can't for internet piracy as of 2007.
