I am in North America and have Spectrum (formally known as Time Warner Cable)
Last month (September 2018) I got a subpoena from Strike 3 Holdings which I had learned is suing people pirating porn content.
Yesterday (10/22/2018) I received a COPYRIGHT ALERT from Spectrum for downloading Split.
Steps I had taken in the last month to help conceal include:
using TOR browser to download the torrent files from sites like 1337x, RARGB, Pirate Bay, Extra Torrent.
Using Onion network Pirate bay and copy and paste magnet links into Vuze.
I have an IP filter installed, but a few days ago, I discovered it was deactivated. I was playing with Vuze settings prior and had to reset everything. Did not see that the IP filter had been cleared.
When I switch networks to TOR and IP2, and disable Public, downloads source drop to 0. I know not many share on other networks, Maybe more people should start doing that.
I do know that the same torrent files on Pirate Bay Onion also pop up on 1337x, RARGB, and other torrent websites. People re-post them.
I am using WindScribe free version.
Something I had been wondering. People sharing pirated content. Why aren't they making it harder by renaming files? The user can just rename it back when done downloading. That may make it harder making a case from a copyright holder can use against some one pirating the content. They have to prove the renamed file is theirs.
