>If all you're doing is torrenting your ISP won't do shit
Extremely bad advice. In reality, it's highly dependent on which country you live in. American copyright and litigation laws are so fucked that there's a whole cottage industry of bot companies that file copyright complaints
on behalf of the copyright holders, without the copyright holders even knowing about it, and make their money by getting kickbacks from the copyright holders for successful DMCA takedowns. I see no reason why these companies wouldn't be just as active patrolling public torrent trackers as they are on youtube.
The worst that will probably happen, in the USA at least, is that your ISP ban you from their service, which can suck if they're the only one in your podunk village. Usually they'll first send you a threatening letter telling you to knock it off or they'll sue, so you'll (
usually) have some warning. To my knowledge, they haven't actually prosecuted anyone for piracy since the Napster days.
If you want to pirate in the US, either pay the $3/month for a VPN or use a direct download site with HTTPS and an alternative DNS provider.
