Depends on how you currently download your bounty, and if it's currently via torrents / public trackers like I do and you don't get angry nastygrams from your ISP (Britbong here), you're good to go?

If not however use of a VPN is recommended and you could go one further actually and buy yourself Usenet access, which means you don't need no VPN and you're rock and roll.

From what I recall thou you Aussies have lots of anti-pirate groups being knobheads so probably wise to hide your traffic? arrr
