Our ISP sends 3 strike letters :(
Our ISPs are too cheap and lazy to even try looking. I still use I2P, but only because I need to justify my tin foil hats collection.
I have had like 14 while I was still in school here in canada. if things haven't changed you just ignore them because they can't do jack if you don't respond. Someone I worked with was blown away when I told him this because back home he was banned from all but the slowest ISP.

A VPN is just essentially a change in ISP.
importantly it's (hopefully) an ISP that operates from a less copyright-happy country and isn't tied down to tons of expensive infrastructure and long-term contracts
And make sure it's a VPN that supports port forwarding. Sharing is caring.
or just use Usenet.
Yeah there is no way Surfshark, NordVPN and other services are compromised and or straight up run by the NSA
let's say that VPNs are compromised and "they" know that you're downloading "illegally"
in order to prosecute, "they" have to prove you're a pirate and show how they know
would they compromise their backDoor to go after a tiny pirate?
you don't really need to scare quote they in this context. The NSA and similar organizations are real and operating at this scale right now.
Will they compromise their back door to go after a pirate? No. Will they collect data on you to profile you and your activities and use that in the future? Yes.
It is not if, it is when the digital police state is imposed will we know the real end state of this level of data collection. My warning about them is not just about the pirates, its about installing their software and letting them port mirror you and cache your dns calls for years to target you later.
This is why I compose all my messages on an air gapped computer and send them out from my compound with couriers.
Unless you PGP-encrypt everything by hand you've just lost the fight
I personally just use a VPN that connects to NSA servers so they think it's themselves doing the torrenting.

In fairness I doubt the NSA give a single solitary fuck about piracy and aren't about to give themselves up over a telesync rip of Beetlejuice 2.
But probably best to plan 9/11 part 2 over something a bit more secure.
Bro I'm downloading Final Fantasy, not running a pedo marketplace. I will be fine.
do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour mullvad vpn
I don't think they care about piracy.

I don’t use a VPN because my government has acknowledged that an IP address cannot identify what individual was using it.
wouldn't trust that tbh
