Wait, is it even possible to pay for movies outside of a movie theater?? I have taught everyone I know how to use bittorrent because I assumed that was a basic computer literacy thing. My grandma regularly pirates TV shows so they have something to watch at her adult daycare. That old bitch even offers DVD copies for a buck fifty.
Hope you also taught them to use a VPN.
Okay, I see this so much, but I have been ~~pirating virtually all of my media~~ downloading Linux ISOs (in the US) without a VPN for… 20 years?
I’ve gotten about a dozen letters from my ISP and I just chuck ‘‘em in a bin.
Haha, I used to do this (throw away the letters). Then one day my ISP shut off my internet for 24 hours (Verizon FIOS), so I got a VPN.
Yeah, if they’re going to twist my arm, that’s one thing haha. Surprised that your ISP actually took action.
