There seems to be a sub-group of salty dogs that sail without protection. They are often US saying they get lots of letters from ISP but nothing comes of it, lately. I’m one to hedge on the side of caution and will be continuing to use VPN but just wondering how much this is just a loud minority and how much truth is to it?

Your ISP will terminate your service after enough letters. Use a VPN to stay safe.
Why would you want to rawdog the internet?
I want to feel every 0 + 1, maybe even a 2.
A VPN literally does not change anything that comes through to you from the internet. I mean, thats the whole point, isn’t it? So, actually using a VPN you are “rawdogging” the internet, not the other way round.
I mean, a VPN protects you from a lot more than just copyright trolls. Even if you’re not sailing the high seas, it’s better to have one than not.
Can you elaborate what you mean? If someone lives in an oppressive country e.g. China, with many blocked sites or censured internet, I understand. But if you don’t live in such a country what would be a usecase apart from piracy?
Well, one of the biggest reasons to have a VPN is just the privacy. Your ISP spies on you, and sells your browsing data to corporations like Amazon. A good VPN will also block ads, trackers, and malware, which helps keep you safe while browsing. You might also be on an ISP that throttles some types of traffic, such as streaming media.
A VPN, as long as it’s set up right, prevents anyone from seeing what you’re doing, even if they have access to your traffic. And if you’re in the US, there’s a strong argument that being free from casual intrusion into your internet habits by corporations and the government is a Constitutional right.
That’s my main reason. I don’t trust my ISP at all. Plus, they most likely are the only one in your area. I’d rather not give them any ammunition to mess with me.

Yeah… A VPN is just closing the curtains before shagging on the living room couch.
It’s still happening, and you may end up with an infection, but others outside your private
networkresidence can’t see what you’re doing.
Plenty of people have unprotected sex. That doesn’t stop a portion from getting AIDs. I can give you plenty of stories of people downloading a hot (monitored) torrent and then paying thousands of dollars in legal fees after ignoring the notice.
Get a VPN, or a Debrid service if you are strapped for cash. Why roll the dice when you don’t have to?
HIV is the virus, AIDS only develops if it’s untreated.
Treatments are actually very good and widely available now, such that there will be practically no incidence of AIDS by 2023.
