just use a VPN

Is that really all that happens in these situations? What happened to people being sued by the RIAA for millions of dollars?

This
ExpressVPN is my go-to but there are lots of others, around 5 bucks a month. It also keeps your ISP from recording and selling your browsing history while you're on VPN.

All ISPs will do this to you these days.

The Hollywood people found that it was bad publicity for them and wasn't reducing the level of piracy because people never believed it would be them who got sued.

I imagine these days they just sue people for a few hundred bucks and people generally settle without a fight.

i imagine these days you're retarded

As far as I know there are still some copyright troll lawyers out there who sue people, namely one representing that X-Art porn site. I think there were also lawsuits over people downloading Dallas Buyer's Club?

You are partly right, they send a threatening letter and offer an immediate settlement, I believe it is in the low thousands though. I don't know if you can negotiate it.

OH NO

I believe those are used as bait. You pay up and then comes a wave of other monetary demands for other downloaded content that you almost assuredly can't afford, and now they'd have your payment of the other to use as an argument when claiming that you did indeed download the content. The best thing to do with this stuff is to cover your ass and ignore anything short of a formal lawsuit, which most (but not all) won't bother pursuing.

The good news is your ISP really doesn't care, they just have to let you know they got a complaint.

Weird as it may seem with all the other shitheel behavior they can get up to ISPs are your friend in this instance.

It's actually optional for them but all the big ones do it. They are trying to appear to be on the anti-piracy side but at the same time they want to keep you paying that monthly bill and they don't truly care. They don't like the bandwidth it uses though.

no

only a few people have actually been sued for this, and it isn't a thing anymore because
>it's usually someone with no money getting sued for millions of dollars, which is bad publicity
>it doesn't actually stop piracy because they aren't going after the source (the people actually uploading and distributing it in the first place)

ISPs themselves don't actually give a shit because you're giving them money and will just send threatening letters, some of the cuntier ones may throttle your internet but will roll over if you call them and bitch at them

and cuckmunists think capitalism hurts the consumer

go away

>ISPs acquired by (((new owners)))
That's all it would take.

(((new owners))) would do the same thing as the old to keep milking those pretty shekels instead of pushing a DMCA

remember to always use a vpn or higher level ghosting
