I know this is a dumb question… But i cant really aford a vpn like at all, is it possible to torrent without using a vpn in the USA or will i get in some trouble and go to jail if i torrent without a vpn?

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

      27 years, actually. Specifically, since October 12th, 1998.

      I have been looking for a US ISP with the balls to ignore their obligations under the DMCA since the DMCA was implemented.

      If the number is excessively multitudinous, feel free to leave out any dial up providers you used back in the late 90s/early 2000s. You can also leave out any ISP that has since merged into another, or gone out of business.

      For me, that would leave five names in 27 years, none of which would be a surprise, and all of which issue DMCA letters.

      I would love to hear about even one of the many unicorns you’ve engaged over the past quarter century.
