A friend who lives both in the Netherlands and Germany forgot to turn off his torrent client on his laptop. A movie finished downloading when he arrived in Germany, he got a fine of €1500. I don’t understand why anyone would use torrents. Since I told him about usenet he’s never had an issue. But it might be that he has a VPN now too, but I’m not sure about it.

Yeah, we just get a notice from the ISP, if that.
