I feel like there's a responsibility to go into VPNs a bit more. My parents got a mean sounding legal letter from our ISP when I was younger for seeding Scooby Doo. It was both terrifying for me and my parents thought it was much more serious than it was, so I got in quite a bit of trouble.
How'd it end up? I'm wondering why it ended up actually less serious
vpns are basically a requirement, at least in the us and canada, to prevent the scary legal letters from isps threatening to destroy your (parents, i guess?) lives

I got in a bit of trouble by my parents at the time and probably just stopped pirating stuff for a bit. No more issues from the ISP as we complied with the C&D and I stopped seeding stuff or uploading to shared FTPs (I can't really recall which was the issue at the time)
I reached support who told me the reasoning. I fed that tech a line saying I let a house-sitter use my computer while out of town and they reinstatated me.
I got kind of disproportionately agitated decided to learn networking/security, so I can figure out just how much they (the ISP) knows, are able to know, and how I can mitigate it. Now, here we are.
