I am not a lawyer, add salt as necessary.

There are a few instances of people getting sued, but usually your ISP will get a DMCA notice and send it to you and so long as you remove the content they've DMCA'd you're usually fine. I also believe that in Canada there's a $5000 limit to the damages they can recover so it's usually not worth it for them to hire a lawyer, which again, I am not.

I accidentally forgot to keep VPN on a killswitch and a torrent was still seeding, and comcast gave me a "first strike" warning that said too many and they will ban me from internet service. Which seems kinda overkill.
