      usually to the copyright holders so they can sue you. or they cut your internet access.

      i said “governments” but really i should be saying “ISPs in some countries”. that might have added some confusion.

        Yeah, ISPs are usually under pressure to obey the copyright holders. But VPNs should always be used.
