I use nordvpn that I purchased with a credit card. Before using it I would get notices from my ISP for pirating but not anymore.

As far as I'm concerned it just makes me not the lowest hanging fruit and that's good enough for me. Even if they wouldn't cut off my service from those notices I consider it worth $50 a yearfor peace of mind. Plus it comes in handy for getting around some geo restrictions.

Case in point: thinking that any of this is relevant in a thread about people logging into government-setup cameras.

Btw, you might want to look into what came out of this story: https://medium.com/@derek./how-is-nordvpn-unblocking-disney-... — it's mostly guesswork but I'm not sure how a company buys 32 million residential ips otherwise.

I have special insight into this situation (including both companies named within) and it is exactly as the article implies. These people are printing money on the backs of regular (unsuspecting) people, and nobody asks questions because of the amount of money involved. To be quite honest, this is what I imagine the fine line must look like, which exists between things that don't need regulation and things that do. That fine, fuzzy line of "These people are obviously up to some hinky bullshit and lying-not-lying to everybody involved".
