Is it possible to be mislead with a torrent title and/or 'poisoned' with illegal material i.e. CP when attempting to access legal material via the BitTorrent protocol?
Sincere thanks in advance.

Yes, it's just a name. Just like a filename, the name can be misleading to the actual content.
Agreed dan0841.
Would there be any other way to throw a spanner in the works or pollute the content?
Note that the filename issue goes both ways. There exist pornographic (but non-contraband) torrents containing files named so they appear to be illegal. Artifacts from deletion (e.g., MRU, shortcuts, etc.) can seem highly incriminating in the absence of file contents. So we have to remember, filenames themselves tell us next to nothing.
There are always ways to imagine possibilities.
Other methods to purport to be one thing yet present other data are exponentially more complicated, therefore inversely unlikely to occur.

Just for the record, someone made this concept clear some time ago wink
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

Happens all the time. Someone will upload a file Avatar.avi and it's the correct file size, they don't worry about the hash or anything else, they want to watch Avatar. They download it, and hit play and watch 10 minutes and it's Avatar, then it's CP, awful CP.
Records indicate they watched 10 minutes of the file which even though the first 9 minutes were of the legit movie Avatar, the last one was illegal material.
Be sure you check all these avenues, people think it's cute and it ends up costing someone their freedom when they really weren't looking for that type of rubbish.
