In Chile I recall Microsoft sending a notification to my former worplace because someone used torrent to download a game from inside the company network. That person didn't notice that all traffic was being routed to company's VPN hosted in MS Azure.
ISPs don't give a shit. The goverment has laws against piracy that are never applied (you know: Southamerica, the lawlessness). But gringo companies do care.
My advice is to avoid Google, MS and the big tech to follow your pirates activities. They may suspend services to you, or notifiy some local authority.
Use a different browser or machine for your big tech interactions, and you'll be fine.
Edit: typos.
