I'm surprised it doesn't cause more chaos, even as simple as people getting copyright infringement notices from their ISP?

Or worse.

But most likely these residential proxy services are more valuable for scraping, DDoS and manipulation plays on social media so they might not actually be used for things that draw direct attention. Using them to download illegal materials would be a waste of resources when a VPN does the job just as well.
