Will an ISP get on to you for downloading porn? Or will it just be a generic DMCA strike?

  Unless your ISP is getting a bunch of takedown notices for you, they don’t give a shit what you do.

  I just checked your download log and I dont see any videos that would set off alarms.

  Obviously country may vary, also, legality of the porn in question.

  Typically ISPs don’t police activity themselves. IP Owners may hire people to monitor torrents send them a list all the IPs seeding, then they send a notice to the ISP that owns your IP address. Then your ISP will send you a “please stop, if you are caught 2 more times we’re canceling your service” letter.

  Of course, if you are downloading CSAM or something, then law enforcement may do any number of responses.

      Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die. / Strike him with a rod, and you will deliver his soul from Sheol. Proverbs 23:13-14

      From the camels mouth.

  No, it’s possible that if you are sharing a torrent, they might. It’s not illegal to recieve copyright material, just distribute it. In either case, it would be highly unusual for an adult entertainment company to go after individual users. Usually its just movies, TV/streaming shows, or music. Some states you just have to watch out for age restrictions/verification.

  Depends in where you are and what the laws are.
