I got caught, so I must have been sloppy somehow. From articles I read I would have continued to get nothing. How many files have you up/downloaded over all the years you have been sharing? How many times have you been caught?Īside from the fright, what penalty did you actually suffer? If you have the money to spare and you don't mind the small inconvenience a VPN isn't a bad idea and it will make you even safer but that doesn't mean you need a VPN.

Google "air bag injuries" and then ask yourself whether it would be better to wear a full-face crash helmet whenever you're in a car and, more importantly, whether you're actually going to start wearing a full-face crash helmet every time you're in a car. Artists can pursue on their own, but they have to jump through considerably more hoops to get any information, and they are as diverse as we are in how much they care or are willing to go after people. Unless they will profit more from going after you (which would pretty much only apply to reselling sites, like all of Phuong's), it's financially smarter to turn a blind eye. But you could also argue (quite easily) that your IP address is insufficient proof of anything, and Daz wants your money, which they aren't getting if you can't buy from them. Could Daz block your account or something? Sure. Yes, it's a breach of the EULA, but really, I don't think Daz cares all that much, as generally, it would be the responsibility of the PA to issue a DMCA, and they don't have direct access to your IP address in the first place. I got two warning letters from I think a Fast and Furious and some Disney movie in the three years I was doing so. Not even like it was similar, all my uploads and such were with the exact same username, from the exact same IP address, and a static IP address no less. As a terrible example of how not to do things, for a very long time, I was using the same username I have at Daz everywhere I torrented. IPs aren't nearly as concretely identifying as they seem.
