When you start getting them "a media company told us you were pirating their shit, and by law we have to warn you, blah blah blah" letters from your ISP, just ignore them, they're all bark and no bite. Don't even bother encrypting the connections (which will slow you down).
I buy the things I like, I donate to the FLOSS projects I like, but the established Big Media industry has no right to tell people what to do with their property (storage and network infrastructure)! In the old days you needed those big film and recording studios in order for content to be produced, but that's no longer the case, they're just parasites standing between the creative talent and the viewer. If the horse and buggy industry of early 20th century had as much ties to government as Big Media does, people driving cars would be arrested for stealing horses!
