5th Circuit rules ISP should have terminated Internet users accused of piracy
ISP Grande loses appeal as 5th Circuit sides with Universal, Warner, and Sony.

This doesn't seem to be a problem in the UK. I've been pirating for years and never even received a letter from my ISP.
ISPs won't do shit that would affect their bottom line. If they play ball with this it's a slippery slope to mass cullings of their subscriber base.
In Canada, I get letters (well emails) when I rawdawg some torrents; but it's never gone further than that.
Prior to using usenet, I constantly torrented w/o a VPN (talking 10+ TB of data across 3ish years) and received a new email notice or two every other day. I've still got a folder with 60+ notices. ISP doesn't give af, they just forward the copyright notice in the form it was sent to them, and that's it.
Now though I primarily use usenet and haven't gotten a notice since. Downloads are also way way more reliable and faster.
rawdawg some torrents
LOL! Did you spray 1's and 0's in their face when you were done?
Teksavvy lets me do precisely whatever the fuck I want, and doesn't make a peep. They collect their $80 and fuck right off until I need them.
Telus, on the other hand, can go fuck themselves with a rusty spoon. They sent me a letter and I switched ISPs within 24 hours.
Telus is the one that's sent me dozens of notices; they don't care. They just pass on the message they received and wash their hands.
It is still better be on the err side and leave no trace they can use aginst.
One of my mates has been pinged for it before, but it seems like he just got a stern letter.
I put my setup behind a VPN anyway. Proton hasn't done me wrong yet.
I've had a couple of vapid emails from VirginMedia for one (Animal Kingdom) of many TV shows I've downloaded over the years.
Shame they didn't send it by snail mail, could've got some free toilet paper out of them then.
