Yeah honestly I'd rather some VPN provider get my $15 so I can torrent in peace rather than giving it to one of ten different streaming providers so they can pay some executive to dream up new ways to extract value from me for sitcoms from the 90s.

I just torrent or stream without a VPN. Is that unsafe?

Depends on country. Most places, no danger whatsoever.

Eh the only thing is copyright holders might complain to your ISP, who might send you a nasty letter. I'm not sure if they actually close accounts over it

I am not a lawyer, add salt as necessary.

There are a few instances of people getting sued, but usually your ISP will get a DMCA notice and send it to you and so long as you remove the content they've DMCA'd you're usually fine. I also believe that in Canada there's a $5000 limit to the damages they can recover so it's usually not worth it for them to hire a lawyer, which again, I am not.

I accidentally forgot to keep VPN on a killswitch and a torrent was still seeding, and comcast gave me a "first strike" warning that said too many and they will ban me from internet service. Which seems kinda overkill.
