Very curious since I will be using it for the first time. Is there a much lower risk of being caught ad receiving letters from companies an warnings from my internet provider?

I read this as asking "If I steal, will I get caught?' The correct answer is maybe.
If the content you download/share is not copyright and protected, it won't matter what technology you use to transfer it to your computer - you are legal. If you are illegal, then keep looking over your shoulder.
The IPFilter functionality built into eMule and updated regularly provides some protection from copyright enforcers and attackers, but it is not foolproof. Updates come out monthly, but the list has been mostly stable for quite a while.

Your internet provider can usually tell the top pirates - they regularly feature in the top twenty total downloaded statistics each month! Nothing to do with actual files transferred, but just traffic patterns.
If DMCA takedown notices are not applicable in your country (ie: you do not live in the USA, and your country does not have reciprocal arrangements with the USA in respect of copyright issues) then your ISP is well within their rights to block these demands as unenforceable, illegal, and a time waster. Most do.
If in doubt, ask your lawyer. Actually, ask your lawyer anyway. Legal advice on open forums such as this should be taken with a large dose of suspicion, as they may not apply in your specific situation.
