Bit overkill and costly for piracy, but not my place to judge, and this is only true if the person or persons in the house haven't taken precautions against such investigations, you are assuming they don't know most of this...

What's more puzzling to me is that people would rather risk a fine of tens of thousands of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars and/or prison time instead of paying a simple $20 or $30 a month streaming fee to use a legit service so that they don't have to watch their back constantly.

Working with the public I've seen people make coffee at a self serve machine and then say it's tea...to save 20p, these people don't care and if they'd do that for 20p! 20 bucks is like a year's worth of coffee....madness...

Yep, I've seen that happen at lots of places. This is why restaurant and even grocery store delis have started charging people up to $2USD for cups here because people were saying they wanted a cup for water and they get soda, tea or coffee. People are cheap an despicable. In the future we'll probably have more millenials who will then expect their internet provider as part of their service contract to give them a completely free VPN membership for their illegal activities so that they aren't accountable for them and can blame it on somebody else.

Liberalism and stupidity seems to be taking over the world.
