Old movies nobody gives a fuck. The proffesional blackmailers monitor the new releases. Downloading old obscure stuff is safer than crossing the street by foot

Were you confronted by the cops?
Just by downloading old movies? Hard to believe, but insane world out there.

I agree with apparent consensus with here; it is likely safe enough. In the 16+ years I have been doing this, I only got DMCA'd once, shortly after I got started and before I figured out the best settings on my clients. I was notified by phone, believe it or not. And yes, it was concerning a major hot release that had just come out on DVD at the time. I totally denied it, which satisfied my ISP.
I have never used a VPN. But then, I pretty much never try to get major film releases right after they come out. Also, my ISP is apparently is not bound hand-and-foot to the mega-media conglomerates. They only do the bare minimum required under the DMCA.

I'd say if you have a VPN, that would be the way to go. BUT, I've accidentally left it off a few times and only got the DMCA letter once... I think they only really care if they know you D/L to make and sell copies...

LZA, how many movies have you downloaded with your VPN?
