Some of you might received threat letters[more info on threat letters] from copyright gangs. They basically collect the IP addresses make a list from them and they prepare a letter. Than they make a request to your ISP(the company you pay for the Internet connection) with this list and Internet Service Provider redirects this letters to everyone in this list. Usually this gangs don't even know your real mail address when they send a threat, so its usually safe to ignore their threats. If they had enough hard proof they would already made a real lawsuit. You are "Innocent Unless Proven Guilty". They are more like spammers, trying scam you.There are actually companies build to cash in the pirate

But there are people who knows your IP address and what you downloaded, with a court order they can find your home address and real name. Who knows maybe one of the new laws will allow this people to build a real lawsuit.

You might also don't like that other people can see what you are downloading (like downloading sick porns or worse)

Also there are also some ISP's are blocking, throttling BT users connection(slowing your speeds).

VPN solves all of these problems

What stops anti-piracy groups from getting a court order for the VPN to give up your billing info and real IP?

Generally you get one that's out of their jurisdiction and/or in a piracy friendly company.
