Canadian here, I have received these letters in the past through my ISP, once for a dl I did (yeah I raw dogged it), and 1 or 2 from the kid that lives in my house. ISP says basically “We got this letter, we need to forward it to you, we have passed on no information to the sender. Please don’t get caught doing this again. Thank you”. Not sure what would happen if there were hundreds of files downloaded but my ISP is a pretty good one for doing the bare legal minimum to correct users.

Is your ISP TekSavvy by any chance?

Similar happened to me when I was on Starlink. Strongly worded letter to say don’t do it again or further action would be taken. I told my adult kid to smarten up and make sure to use a VPN when tormenting games (which he already knew). Haven’t had a letter since.

They may as well have said please use a VPN to save us the cost of a stamp next time

I feel like at this point even the ISPs are like “bruh just use a VPN this shit is annoying”
