a) this is creepy b) I have wondered this... you know those letters some ISPs send to people telling them what they downloaded illegally? Do they send that stuff to VPN providers? Because it seems like they would just get flooded. I connected to my VPN service and there are thousands on that IP range.

The ISP is looking for IP addresses in its address range in the peer list, looking it up in its customer database, and sending its own customers a letter.

Is this true?

As I explained in another post, I used to work at a small ISP many years ago. We did not monitor anything, but we did get emails from MPAA people (my memory is a little fuzzy) about an IP downloading a something. We would then pass it on to our customer.

It was at least true for Comcast in 2007-2011. They were using a third-party agency for this info and then moved it in-house when I was doing contract work for them.

No clue how MPAA letters interfaced with them. Could have been an agreement with them for all I know.
