    Use a VPN service with a proven track record to connect to a seedbox paid for with crypto, and download only from top-level private trackers. It’s about as secure as you can get as a casual user.

    In reality, though, a simple VPN is probably enough. Maybe not even that if you’re in a country that doesn’t give a shit.

      It’s nice to live in a country that doesn’t give a shit. Where I am they’ll reluctantly send you a letter because the media companies hassle them about it, but they hardly ever do more than that. A friend of mine got a letter and called his ISP, and they were just like “you should use a VPN or not seed so much, that’s how they spot you” lol
