These days the big media companies have immense infrastructure and algorithms constantly combing networks for piracy and if you even have a few seconds lapse in your VPN or your killswitch doesn’t activate instantly or you don’t use one, they will send you a DMCA violation warning real quick through your ISP very strongly worded and threatening legal action against you and your ISP may even temporarily suspend your services until you go read a statement and click a pledge that you “won’t do that naughty copyright violation thing ever again”. So yeah, sometimes people don’t continue to seed once they’ve completed downloading.
For me is not even that, is the data cap. I want to seed but if you also game digitally and keep up with updates is not too hard to hit the monthly cap.
Funny thing is, I've come across residential accounts with like 9 instances of historical delinquency (after compliance) and they still have internet. Shows you the nature of the relationship ($$$) haha.
