You are taking a risk accessing ANY copy written content over the Internet without paying for it, I won't do it without using a VPN. The content providers are going to go after end users that are doing this and the ISPs are going to help them, count on it. Your ISP is keeping records of the server IP addresses you are connecting to. When you use a VPN, the only address they will have is for the VPN server that you are connected to, they won't have any idea what IP addresses you are actually using. It is the server IP addresses that you are connecting to that will get you caught, not the actual content of the streams. This is how Napster users were busted.
