      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 “some governments” but really i should be saying “ISPs in some countries”. my bad choice of words might have added some confusion.

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

              That’s the point though, basically no-one used VPNs back in the day.

              Now its basically required.
