My son is using to Bit Torrent
He was downloading some TV shows. Our ISP sent 34 emails within one hour to warn about the illegal download. I showed the messages to him. He said that it was his first time so he would stop. But what of the consequence? Should I contact our ISP about this?

Most isp don't care what you download, unless you're doing huge volumes

It's the uploads that will give you a problem....sharing files, leaving the torrent client on and sharing stuff.....

Just don't share stuff ...move the file as soon as it's downloaded...

That's not true. The ISPs simply respond to complaints filed by people hired by the MPAA and other similar organizations. Do they go harder after the people who are sharing ginormous amounts of files? Yes. Do they send emails to people who don't allow uploads at all? Yes. If you download a very popular recent movie and you don't use a VPN, you are the exception if your ISP doesn't receive a complaint about it and send you an email.

You really shouldn't even need a VPN if you're careful
That is horrible advice.

You obviously know your way around the bit torrent environment, but the poster doesn't, and apparently the poster's son is a n00b at it. If he is going to uses bit torrents, a VPN is the only way to go.

That is very good advice.

I use IPVanish. It's not free ($9.99 per month), but it works perfectly. I received several emails from my ISP a few years ago when I first started downloading with bit torrents. I've been using IPVanish ever since. I've never received an email about this since I started using the VPN.

The poster should check out this link:

Downloading stuff is legal enough. Nobody has ever been prosecuted for simply downloading something like movies or TV. It's the uploading that you really have to worry about. Bit Torrent clients are configured by default to automatically upload the content you're downloading as soon as it's available. Legal information property entities can only really make a stink when you're uploading content to lots of other people. You can configure your kid's torrent client to only download and never upload, like a good parent would. If you did that, you wouldn't receive any more notices. Sometimes sites monitor that kind of thing and won't let you download unless you also upload. But most are not like that. If it would help, I'd be glad to take down your kid's email and send him some tips on how to be safe. I'll have him safely pirating in no time, with no risk to you. Because we're all Chiefs fans here...
