Do people actually still torrent without using a VPN? That seems... unwise.

I do. But I never heard about anyone going after torrent downloaders in my country. Can switch to VPN if necessary.

Kids usually. I know I didn't have money to buy a VPN when I was in high school, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from watching the entire backlog of anime my friends were enjoying at the time. Luckily, that was a bit before the letter's started going out with more consistency.

There's only one country in the world where copyright is enforced against end-users.

If you pay for a VPN, you could just as well pay for the official streaming service

Way cheaper to pay for single VPN service vs every streaming service out there (plus new ones every month)

True, much cheaper to steal than paying creators.
