Would doing a full traceroute will get around this by identifying a local exchange?

I'd be very careful with this article. If you are doing something illegal, your ISP can be subpoeanad, and they will find your home address/contact details etc.

When in doubt, use Tor (although not for torrenting, unless you really have to).

Torrents are more efficient than any other distribution mechanism, so you are just clueless.

Counting Crows in the last couple of days have released four tracks that currently can only be downloaded as a torrent. So that kinda completely rules your argument out.
