You may not be aware of this but the UK Government is well forward in it's plan to snoop on all forms of telecommunications within the country. Please check the following articles:

Snooping database has to happen says gov't - Software - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

Especially this one from June 2002:

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Official site to advise on state snooping

BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Agency denies internet spy plans

In fact, if you search the BBC News website you will find stories of Government plans, dating back to 2000, to snoop on UK citizens Internet usage.

The only way to protect yourself is to restrict your Internet browsing and don't let anyone else use your PC.

Saying that, and as I said before, the Government is looking for persistent offenders and not accidental downloaders.

PS. Also, don't forget that there is a Government backed anti-P2P campaign, run by Virgin, going on at the moment.
