Which ISP caught on to you and was there a third party involved?
Pineapple Net, which is my building's fibre optic ISP. It used to be Spirit for years but they sold to Pineapple Net during COVID sometime.. annoyingly automatically bumping me up to a more expensive but faster plan.
What do you mean third party? Like Paramount, etc? I assume they or a company they employ put a tracker on that torrent and reported to Pineapple Net.
I think Paramount would be the one involved with the complaint in this case or someone connected to them, your isp wouldn’t care until someone complained and traced the IP back to them.
