@Kerosene @Groomschild @Shadowbroker2135 @coolboymew @lebronjames75 depends on the ISP. centurylink never gave a shit back when i had it like 3 years ago. comcast will give you i think 3 warnings and then buttfuck your internet so you have to call them and apologize and say you won't do it again. then if you do it 3 more times your internet is buttfucked forever.

so yeh, vpn is good. these days though i mean you can just hook up free protonvpn and use it for your pirating needs for a sec. don't really need anything too crazy.

that really is just for torrenting, though. downloading from other places like archive.org isn't gonna get you shit. the only reason torrents get you in trouble is because they expose your IP and there are always MPAA fucks and the like in the pool looking at IPs and sending notices.
