Hello, i wanted to know to what extent do the ISPs or police pursue torrenting. In the 90's it was acceptable and fairly wide-spread. I am unsure how it looks now.

Fun fact: the American studios tried to do that in Australia, and about fifteen years ago, the court system said “yeah nah not happening” and that they could only sue for the cost of a movie ticket. Needless to say, that’s not cost effective. So they don’t bother anymore
