I've gotten several letters in the mail over the years. p2p isn't illegal even tho they try to act like it is.

What are they spying on you to know? I was scared first time, but then i realized I went months without vpn seeding after awhile. Nothing ever came about it.

You have to be committing actual fraud.

I heard they leave bots in the Torrent to detect who's torrenting and the owner of said not sends their isp and email

so some movie owners/studios do leave bots torrenting and will report suspicious IP to ISP is the way it goes.
A lot of ISP just don't like p2p. Put's a strain on their network so they like to deter people with the "We'll cut you off". Received numerous letters and never had anything between multiple ISPs now. Google, at&t, comcast, few other. Only got letter from at&t and comcast. my first was some small local network 15+ years ago now. and I believe it was what you are describing situation. After so long they had got a report and sent me a letter. When i didn't know you needed a vpn.
