I'm not a sophisticated user in respect to peer to peer sites as I don't download movies etc. so I was surprised at how Hola works as I just never thought much about it. I tried using it for a while but it seemed to interfere with my browsing so I uninstalled it a while ago.
This is probably overblown but still who wants to be involved in this crap.

By becoming an exit node for a Tor-like network, Hola users are exposed to the same risks that Tor exit nodes operators are. Their connection can be abused by someone else, by trafficking in child pornography or downloading illegal material, for example. To police authorities, it would look like the innocent Hola user was responsible for those actions, since his or her IP address would be associated with them.
