I've read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you're gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn't the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn't that type of connection is what makes your ISP snitch you? So what is different about private trackers? And where to find them?

Being fined also costs money.

I don't think you can get fined for streaming over a VPN, especially since you're not distributing.

Depends on the country. Anyway, this thread is about torrenting without a vpn, not streaming with one. With torrents you are distributing.
