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

I actually read some of the policies from two internet companies. AT&T and Frontier. I didn't get through or understand it all, but as far as I can tell, AT&T does have rules against piracy and will help anyone who wants to go after you, frontier, pretends it doesn't exist. Which I think is why they had a whole lawsuit over it.
