I raw dog my torrents with no VPN
Can someone tell me the actual risks involved? I always thought it was so you didn't get your ISP up your ass and shut you off, my power company is my ISP and they don't give a shit
What really am I risking here?
Edit: US
One of three things, one your ISP doesn't give a shit and nothing happens. Two, you get nasty-grams telling you to cease or have your service cut, three your information gets forwarded to the copyright owners company and you possibly are fined or worse brought in by a lawsuit.
Yep, yep and yep. The nasty-grams are typically referred to as “love letters”.
