@PurrJPro @jordank1977 The thing is, VPNs create enough friction for authorities to stop them from tracking you down for downloading a movie.
Also, in some countries it's not even authorities catching you torrent stuff, it's asshole lawyers who basically bounty hunt for media companies. It's only viable for them to screw over hundreds of people at once, they're unlikely to try and argue with a VPN provider.
all countries*. in no country is it the law enforcement tracking movie torrenting
Its not 'authorities' you are hiding from when pirating, its just copyright trolls. All they do is scrape IP addresses from torrenst and automatically send a notice to the relevant ISP. If that IP belongs to a VPN provider, the compaint will never reach you.
