Let me guess, you work for your country's music/movie industry, don't
you?  :)  I would definitely question your sources for that 99% figure.

Although I would agree with you regarding other p2p clients, BitTorrent
is not like the rest.  There's no shared folder visible to all -- you
make available to other BitTorrent users only that file you're currently
downloading.

I don't know how much you trust random anonymous folks on FD, but I find
BT relatively benign.
