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?
