I think that's the least they'll do. They could also get your vpn account closed and, if your browser leaked your ip address, get your home internet connection closed, assuming your vpn and home internet service contracts include the usual sort of term against unauthorised stream viewing. I think it's unlikely, but don't kid yourself how many contracts you're probably breaking and the penalties in them.

And if you were to show a vpn stream commercially, then things can get nasty.

Just out of interest, do you know of anyone who has been locked out of their VPN and IP accounts?

Not recently, but I mentioned earlier that I haven't needed to do things risking it for many years. It really seems to be in the possible but unlikely space now.

Do your contracts not forbid using the services for unauthorised access to copyright materials?

No doubt unauthorised access isn’t legal.

What should be illegal, but isn’t, is big companies having carte blanche to create monopolies, so they can then charge customers whatever they like.

Anyhow, that’s a completely separate debate.

Home taping is illegal, video copies are illegal, speeding is illegal, cycling without reflectors is illegal etc, etc.
