How do you pay the VPS Provider? The Cops can simply go to the VPS Provider and ask what Bank account or paypal is linked to the Account who runs the Server with the IP address they tracked. And what if the VPS Provider is logging your traffic? They can Monitor anything that leaves your VPS (their network) because a VPS is just a Virtual Machine like KVM thats why its called VPS = VIRTUAL Private Server. OPSEC my friend... I think you are safer if you just use Mullvad and pay with XMR and only access the mullvad site from Tor. (I know i am paranoid xD)
With my credit card, I'm not worried about the police coming after me. Pirating is a civil issue not a criminal issue.
But how do you think they are running their VPNs? As we have seen from the past, Paid VPNs can track what you do any way. Just make sure you're using HTTPS and you have setup your OS to encrypt your data and you're fine. No one's going through the effort to catch youre suspected of doing something serious enough.
