    many governments will snitch on you if they find you doing it. some countries need a vpn to hide yourself now. and some other smaller bullshit.

        usually to the copyright holders so they can sue you. or they cut your internet access.

        i said “governments” but really i should be saying “ISPs in some countries”. that might have added some confusion.

          Yeah, ISPs are usually under pressure to obey the copyright holders. But VPNs should always be used.
