In a highly unusual move, Justice Moraes also said that any person in Brazil who tried to still use X via common privacy software called a virtual private network, or VPN, could be fined nearly $9,000 a day.
No they don't. They might give fines to those with social audience. So those in Brazil shouldn't register with their real names to avoid being harassed with fines.
Nope.

VPNs are not very private. The VPN can verify all of their network activity to the Brazilian authorities.
Precisely. You have to trust the policies of VPN companies, which I don't.
The purpose of VPN is to protect you against ISP not the government. For protection against government I don't know what you would need to do.
I think it's not relevant for this topic because Chinese use VPN despite the bans, and software piracy is still as popular as ever.
Software piracy in China is certainly irrelevant.
