    pirating video is as easy as visiting one of the dozens of streaming sites with a device capable of running a browser that can play video and run an adblocker.

      If you weren’t aware your isp tracks your download usage and can tell when you’re pirating. They aren’t stupid.

        Streaming video from a site is not downloading, your ISP can’t do shit about it, that’s how everyone I know from the US pirates shows and movies

        they can tell im watching video, but the connection is over https, they can’t tell im watching episode one of star trek or whatever. unless they’re doing a mtm on all their customers to intercept SSL certs for the express purpose of traffic snooping.

        ive been doing this for years on an ISP that has previously sent us a nasty note about piracy when someone did a torrent, so I think i’m probably ok man.
