Before using a VPN, I was sent numerous letters from my isp to knock it off. It really depends on both isp and where you live. If you live in the US, my understanding is that it’s the isp who can get sued for allowing you to pirate, so while they don’t want to lose your money and will give you numerous chances, they will eventually cease to do business with you.
