This is because they scrape tracker's for peers and use this evidence to send complaints to the ips of the peers.
trackers are in most cases reachable via http so they go over tor
and then we exit operators are getting harassed :s

We are researchers from Univ. of California, Berkeley and Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst are interested in understanding what kind of abuse happens through Tor. Thanks to Moritz Bartl from Torservers.net http://torservers.net/ we analyzed over 1GB of complaints received over 6 years. Here is our preliminary analysis of the complaints: http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~sadia/tor_abuse_complaints.pdf http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~sadia/tor_abuse_complaints.pdf
Quote from paper:
99% are DMCA complaints regarding the use of bittorrent.
Why do these complaints go to the exit node operators? Isn't the complainer able to figure out the real IP of Bittorrent clients?
Why I am asking this: torrent uses UDP, Tor only routes TCP traffic. Isn't it impossible to hide bittorrent traffic via Tor. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
