After talking to someone else at work using Rogers, their VPN shit the bed one night they forgot to stop the torrents, they got a similar letter.
At this point our ISPs should just automatically put us all on rotating non-logged VPNs as part of our packages we already get the modem as part of the service, just integrate it there (not sure if I’m being serious or silly)
That’s literally what they do. But they’re required by law to be able to trace an IP address, so it doesn’t help you. The copyright company asks for who was using this IP address at this time, and the ISP has to tell them.
The ISP keeps the record for 6 months, if the party claiming rights wants to prosecute they have that 6 months to go to a court in the users jurisdiction and ask the judge to grant this info (users name and address). If granted then the info will be retained for a year. Without the judges order all the rights holder has is an IP address that will have another person attached to it after a time

Yes and the point of VPNs is that they don’t do this
