  • Depending on where you live, it may not matter if you don’t use a VPN, you could possibly research what usually happens in your area?

    Many people never get warnings, others ignore them and nothing happens.

    Usually nothing happens because ISPs don’t care if you torrent, it wastes their time and resources when studios/content owners send dmcas (or whatever) and they have to send a warning. I bet the warnings are just automated for most isps so they can mostly ignore them. ISPs also don’t want to punish their customers because then they’ll lose revenue by cutting you off.

    (The ignoring part is heresay, i’m just combining info i’ve heard over the years and experience)

    Some (most?) countries it’s not illegal to torrent copyrighted content either, unless you distribute it (seed).







  • I just used Nestlé and slaves as an example. Feel free to change the company name and reason to anything else. My point is just that any company doing anything bad enough should stop you from supporting them.

    Most people don’t care enough about doing this (me included at times), which is sort of how (one reason) we’ve ended up with these massive companies that can do whatever they want. It sucks to say but if Nestlé went out of business and 10k people lost their jobs, it’s probably a net good for the planet when the next good company takes lead (good as in pays and treats employees fairly, etc). This outcome sounds better than letting them run free as we do now.

    In reality if we were able to hurt a companies bottom line enough, like Nestlé, jobs might not be lost, because they may actually change and become better to the point where we can buy their shiz again.
