I think pirating from smaller ISPs is advantageous. Simply because a lot of the staff could not be as tech savvy to understand what you're downloading.

Big ISPs, it's a little harder but challenging and possible, because they know what to expect.

I think it depends on the ISP. There are a few small ones that do not GAF what you do. I've been told "we do not care what you download, we only care that you can." There are a few big ones that are too big to care what people do on their network.

That said, you should always take precautions. A VPN is a good place to start.
