I know this is a dumb question... But i cant really aford a vpn like at all, is it possible to torrent without using a vpn in the USA or will i get in some trouble and go to jail if i torrent without a vpn?

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

Same ... except I recently got my first strike from xfinity ... for downloading minecraft for a friend .... turns out my blacklists don't catch all the honeypots fast enough

Ever since I paid for a years worth of PIA and set up a media box to share with my friends and family cause .... FUCK EM! If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't theft.
