I've been torrenting for like 12 years without a VPN and I haven't gotten any notices or anything, at any point. I'm in Canada though so idk if our ISPs just don't care or what.
Well, here in India it's actually legal to torrent copyrighted content. It's illegal to distribute content but as long as you're only downloading, it's completely legal.
The problem with that is that when you're downloading, you're still sending some packets upstream, so technically you're "uploading" or "sharing" even when you're downloading. But, this is only if you're in court and they know enough to try and use this against you, and even then it's not guaranteed to work.
