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.

Stick to private trackers, the risk of being caught is dramatically lower (harder to get it, smaller user base, companies target the big public ones)

How do you go about finding and joining such a venture

        Pay for a month for TorrentLeechs seedbox promo to get an invite.
wait for opensignups. HUNO, FearNoPeer, onlyencodes are solid options.
do an "interview" at MAM. After downloading and seeding all you've downloaded for a few months, you'll be able to get into the trackers mentioned above and a few others (e.g. Aither).
