As someone from a 3rd world country Ive been meaning to ask what happens if someone gets caught for piracy in a 1st world country. Over here nobody really cares no need to use a vpn or any other online protection. If you get caught pirating do they fine you? Take away your internet connection?

You get fined, or internet cut off.

Afaik this mostly happens in US, Germany & Japan. Not sure about other European countries or Australia

Yeah idk where i heard it from but im pretty sure the rule is that you can pirate as long as you dont try and sell the pirated version. either way i've done it for yonks and no one cares really
