“Hypothetically” you mean

  Normally the Statute of limitations would apply, but it seems like US Law is becoming even more inscrutable in the last few years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations

    There's no such thing as "the" statute of limitations. There may or may not be a statute of limitations governing each possible legal action. I count at least three: criminal copyright violation (U.S. v. NoblePublius), civil claim for copyright infringement (MPAA v. NoblePublius), and breach of contract (Netflix v. NoblePublius). Possibly others, e.g., if the DCMA has a separate criminal penalty for circumventing the copy protection.

  No need to use that word. The DMCA is basically toothless at this point and can outright be ignored. You get a notice that can be safely thrown away. It's basically "don't do that again". Then you do it again. Honestly it's always been pretty easy to ignore it since it's inception unless you are running a counterfeiting operation.

    Some ISPs will cut you off after X repeat notices in under Y timeframe.
