The kind of people they're pissing off with this, are the same people most likely to switch to bittorrent.

    Hell BitTorrent is outdated, these days you just watch the movie through an online streaming site. It requires zero technical knowledge

    And (in the experience of hypothetical pirate goblins I've hypothetically spoken to) won't result in your ISP shutting your internet off until you agree to be nice and never do that again.

    Nope. Either they can't view(encrypted )it or they don't care. The isps that actually do something, will send you multiple warnings, like 7 plus.

    Then you just get a VPN and carry on as usual. In 25 years or so I have gotten 2 warnings.

    Those are so trash, can't be hoarded or easily watched on your tv. There's usually bumps along the road. My system is automatic and always works. It's been set and forget since I implemented it. All I do is plug in shows on a webui
