So this would actually make torrenting easier.

By showing a full screen alert ?

There are also a lot of free file hosting sites with tons of those fake download buttons. Good luck downloading from them now.

I mean it makes displaying "Download Now!" banners less effective. You can bypass the alert; Chrome puts the alert if I understood.
