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.
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.

LOL! Did you spray 1’s and 0’s in their face when you were done?
I’m just glad they’re still distracted with torrents…
Shhhh
The implication of this being that I am behind the times, stuck on outdated tech, and didn’t even know it is uncomfortable.
The irony is that what they’re talking about is even older than torrents. It’s just less heavily policed.
