I don't normally seed big media properties lest my ISP send letters telling me to stop. With all of the talk about South Park, I couldn't resist. I'm about to find out how diligent the copyright holders are. YOLO.
VPN
Not OP but where I live there is no point in a VPN. My ISP sends the letter once in a while, I ignore it, that's it.
There may be lawsuits
No. There will not be. I live in Canada. I have received a dozen of those letters over the years. Nothing happens here beyond the letters.
They say you can't argue with results, but what kind of defeatist attitude is that? If you stick with it, you can argue with ANYTHING.
Why insist on pushing/repeating VPN companies sales pitch? AFAIK the law here allows the copyright holders to ask ISPs to forward the letter, and no further. No, they cannot file a lawsuit against me because the law doesn't allow them to know who I am.
Worse, some people were fooled by those and paid money because they felt threatened by something worthless.
Millions of piracy notices coming to Canadians can no longer demand cash
I will not pay to download torrents "anonymously" if I don't need to. As far as I am concerned, this is FUD.
