I remember getting a warning years ago from an ISP I don't use anymore that my service would be cut off if I downloaded a pirate torrent again. Why the fuck were they paying attention to what I was doing? Even if it was piracy, it was none of their fucking business and they wouldn't be implicated. I've used a VPN ever since.
You're ISP didn't care. The production companies are the ones finding out your IP address. Your ISP is just passing the message along.
