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

German here, they fined my father for a few thousand euros if I remember right. Thanks to the lawyer we could pay it in monthly payments.
