Hello, i wanted to know to what extent do the ISPs or police pursue torrenting. In the 90’s it was acceptable and fairly wide-spread. I am unsure how it looks now.

VPNs are a barrier, true. But prison bars or having to pay millions to huge corporations are even bigger barriers. Sure, it might not happen to everyone and it probably won’t happen to most. If you want to gamble with your life, go ahead, but please, don’t tell others some form of protection isn’t needed.
If you don’t want to or can’t pay, don’t torrent. There are other, safer ways to get content.
Fun fact: the American studios tried to do that in Australia, and about fifteen years ago, the court system said “yeah nah not happening” and that they could only sue for the cost of a movie ticket. Needless to say, that’s not cost effective. So they don’t bother anymore
