I didn’t really understand it for a long time but then I found out that internet providers snitch on you for piracy. That is so sad. I can’t imagine paying for vpn just to download something I want
Edit: Would like to correct myself. “most” to “some.” I guess I really overexaggerated it
That depends. DDL Sites don’t need VPN.
Torrent on that case yes depends on countries. Also some sites are blocked, which also DNS/VPN needs required to bypass it.

Ohhh, so that’s mostly the reason. Thanks for clarifying that to me. I just never used VPN just to pirate, recently I started using free VPN services just to watch fucking YouTube.

You can’t realize how shocked I was when I found out that most some people HAVE TO use VPN to pirate stuff. watch fucking YouTube.

@Nate
Yea my only reason for keeping my VPN is the amount of sites that are blocked
Yep. I’m a bit thankful I live in a third world country where, despite slow internet connection, doesn’t give a crap about piracy.

99% of the countries in the world don’t give a shit, in Europe for example only a handful of countries do give a shit, you can torrent all day every day in Norway, Finland, Italy,…whatever
@Lennie
Almost correct when talking about Italy, you can pirate anything but football, if you pirate football they’re gonna swat your house and kidnap someone from your family

How much is the ransom?
@Beck
260€/year but I’m not sure if that includes every match or they are split between different providers.
As a reference a decent wage in Italy is 1500€/m
Edit: 260 is an offer, usually it’s 360, pure madness
@Beck
One homemade lasagna

Same in Spain. You can pirate virtually everything (SGAE fucked around for a while with music piracy, but they haven’t cared for about 10 years now). However, don’t you fucking dare pirate anything of Tebas (the president of LaLiga) and his football TV rights empire…

Portugal, they blocked Anna’s 
, of all the things… Blocked access to books.
Wow people are getting this wrong, it’s almost cringey. It’s not your ISP ‘ratting on you’. They can’t do that, legally (use your own time researching why).
When you get those letters, it’s typically a special PI/security firm working on contract with an IP holder watching who else is seeding through a torrent. Then (typically automatically) sending a cease and desist to the ISP. If they have a large enough profile against you then they can request a subpoena against your ISP for your personal info, but it would have to be pretty egregious amount you’ve sent to others to justify that.

Portuguese here. I can access Anna’s Archive. Change your DNS. If you have Firefox, change it on there. After I did that, I regained access to all blocked sites
@Ashby
Thank you, already did

They did? I can access it fine without using ahoy. I tried the normal address and the one started with pt. I’m not saying you’re wrong though, as a matter of fact I can’t access Rutracker and 1337 without using proxies for some reason. But yeah I agree that blocking access to shadow libraries and knowledge is absolutely criminal.
@Lennie
I didn’t realize we could torrent without a VPN still. (I’m from Finland) I’ve just been using a VPN to cover my ass ever since Piratebay got blocked here along with some other torrent sites.

Well my co-worker used university internet to torrent all 5 years that he spent studying in Finland LOL
Also users here don’t report having a problem in Finland, a few cases they get letter from a GERMAN law firm threatening fine but of course it’s all bullshit, nothing ever happened
