As the video game industry is approaching the norm of expensive games, I would like to save my money while still being able to play these games.
+1 for the vpn. The last isp letter i got was from one of her torrents, and it wasn’t even that popular of a game.
Woah really? ISPs coming out and bothering you cause you pirate stuff? Never heard of it. I’d jump ship immediately if I got one such letter.

You must have the distinct privilege of not living in the USA or several other Western countries.

If you mean jump ship off that ISP, there’s nothing you can do. You can go to another ISP (if there even is one in your area), who will do the exact same thing. You can jump ship entirely and not have internet, I guess.
While I am from a Western country it’s indeed not the US.
No, in my country nothing of that sorts happens. Piracy is still technically illegal but only a misdemeanor for the end user, provided they don’t make any money off the pirated stuff, and no ISP has ever cared to narc about it, to my knowledge.
Of course it’s probably different for crackers and folks who run piracy oriented forums.
Yeah I did mean “jumping ship” to a different provider, assuming they didn’t all behave like this. And of course I just assumed there were more than one to choose from.
Nasty stuff. VPNs really look like a blessing, from this perspective.
