The letter is also pretty toothless since in a household with more than one person the actual infringer cannot be identified solely by IP, still better to just use a VPN though, avoids that entire can of worms

Yeah you would still get these letters, so having a VPN saves you the hassle

I've heard a few times that people managed to dodge the letter, but I've also heard of multiple people who had to pay.
