I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?

Question out of curiosity, do you then keep stuff on the seedbox only or do you download to your local hard drive in your country? Because that download would still be illegal or wouldn't it? Just if we are talking about legality of things, everything else set aside.

Downloading copyrighted material isnt a crime; redistribuiting it is. (Seeding, in the case of torrents)

But then leeching via torrents is also legal. So one could just be an asshole for legality's sake.

That is coincidentally exactly what meta is arguing in their lawsuit.

Of course its still illegal. I'm not saying it's using a seedbox makes it legal to download illegal torrents. It's just legal in the country of your seedbox. So if your seedbox provider gets a DMCA notice, they're going to throw it directly in the trash.

Additionally, between my seedbox and me, is encrypted. So how would anyone know what I download from my private seedbox? There's realistically no way to get "caught." Copyright holders pay people to monitor torrent traffic for people to prosecute and hassle--but the same isn't true for private servers which encrypt traffic.
