I was getting something from TPB and got an email from Nintendo when I forgot to turn on my VPN.
I mean that has nothing to do with tpb but just you not force binding vpn adapter to your torrent client
Did Nintendo email you, or did your ISP forward you a DMCA notice?
oh yeah now that I think it was a forward from my ISP about the Nintendo DMCA notice?
Ok, good deal. Those are pretty much toothless. If Nintendo themselves contacted you, I would be very worried.
oh really? cause I was shitting my pants when I first saw it
Yeah that happens. The company issuing the DMCA notice doesn't know who you are, they just log the IP address and send a notice to the ISP, who forwards it to you.
The ISP can absolutely cancel your account if they keep getting notices about your activities though.
Lol let them email as much as they want. I'm not Gary Bowser.
I've never torrented with a VPN. I guess nobody cares in South Africa
