I hear if you torrent you get a nastygram from your ISP. Meanwhile, I hear if you find a site that offers to stream it for free, nothing bad happens. Also I hear that Yandex gives better results for such sites than Google or DDG/Bing.

I hear VPNs exist. Though that could be a rumour.

I hear rumors being eastern european negates the nastygram, but that's just a rumour.

Ukrainian here, pretty eastern European. ISP doesn't make enough money to care.

Lithuanian ISPs also really don't care the worst that happened is the government shutdown a film site but it is back online.

If you're in Canada those nastygrams are merely scare tactics, generally.

If only I were in Canada ๐Ÿ˜ญ so free it hurts here in the US

Depends what you torrent. Torrenting exposes your IP to all the other peers.
