Responses will vary... Some will redirect your DNS to get you to a website to no
tify you, others may interrupt service in other ways.  Some will forward the ema
il/notification with a very stern warning.  Some cable companies will permanentl
y disconnect service if you see 3 notifications in a given timeframe.

A seedbox is the best option, ideally in a country that doesn't legally recogniz
e US copyright like Amsterdam.  Although it's not necessarily the cheapest optio
n.  They just throw the notifications away, not forward/redirect them to you.
