    Don’t have to have a VPN. Just don’t download new stuff. Material over 5 years old is safe enough. One exception is the occasional artist who has gone copyright extremist, and wants their entire catalog monitored for piracy.

    If you are caught, you’ll get a warning from your ISP. It’s largely toothless. After the 3rd warning, they’ll disconnect you from the Internet until you’ve clicked acknowledgment to a scary warning screen that piracy is very naughty and you could be in Big BIG Trouble if you keep doing it.

    I’ve heard the Pirate Bay is now frowned upon but don’t know why or which are the good alternatives.

      I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re just starting out and using private trackers as you’re sure to go over your ratio limit. Public trackers are fine with the arrs but build some ratio before you try to use them on private ones.
