Depends on your definition of threats. In Germany, some lawyers send out
(a lot of) threatening letters where they say that you're legally
responsible for your traffic regardless of who initiated it, and make it
sound like you have to pay some fee or they will go to court. With a
short deadline. If you reply and explain Tor, they usually drop it, or
threaten you again. In the end, it's all about the percentage of people
who simply pay the couple of hundred Euros of fees to avoid further
'trouble'. There hasn't been a single case of a Tor exit operator being
convicted for running a Tor relay. (*)

Even in France, with the HADOPI law ("Three Strikes"), there's an
exception for relaying other people's traffic. Of course, or there
simply would not be an Internet at all if everyone were responsible for
everyone else's traffic.

We need more relays, and while it is good to point to the Exit Relay
Guidelines and that they probably don't want to run an exit relay at
home unless they have a really good and small ISP. Usually, what most
people mean by "running a relay" is "running a non-exit relay", and that
must be encouraged!

(*) You may have heard of William. He wasn't convicted in his capacity
as exit operator. It's a very muddled case.
