Like the stupid newbie goober I am, I forgot the first step to downloading music: do it in a public setting with a public wifi. Ended up downloading it all at home off of our private wifi. Did use a VPN but forgot to switch it from my home country. Kind of wondering how easy it is to trace me and persecute me for this. I am not the one handling the ordeal with the wifi, that would be my lovely mother.

Cheers y'all!

Depends on country you happen to be in. If it's Poland or eastern Europe noone will give a damn. If it's Germany then you might be screwed. If you're on a good VPN you should be ok even in Germany.
