>an act that committed even just a few times can get my home Internet shut down with no recourse (best outcome).
No, the best (and also most likely) outcome is you using a VPN and nothing happens, like 99.9% of pirates out there.
>Literally nothing happened.
Isn't there a lawsuit in the works?
If you have to do a thing that obscures your act it doesn’t change the fact that there are rules for me and not them. We know for a fact they did it. Did their ISP threaten them? Did they get their internet service shut off?
Edit: they already won their first case in June against authors. I am very curious to see how that lawsuit goes. Obviously we don’t know the results yet but I would be incredibly surprised to see them lose and/or have to “undo” the training. That’s a difficult world to imagine, especially under the current US admin. Smart money is the damage is done and they’ll find some new way to be awful or otherwise break rules we can’t.

Is there any indication they didn't use a VPN? If they did use a VPN, how is it "there are rules for me and not them", given that anyone can also use VPN to pirate with impunity?
I don’t understand what you’re doing here. They were caught. We know they did it. There are several articles about it. They have been sued over it because it happened. I don’t think anything will come of it, but they clearly did it. It is public knowledge.
