EU is making a new law which makes your IP the same as (something similar to) your social security number and they say piracy is going to receive a huge blow. Obviously I have no intention of stopping but now I'll have to start using a VPN, if I want to continue my way. However, I do not trust VPNs a lot and I do not like the idea of paying for them (I could just pay for the movie in the first place)

I looked into using Tor network to torrent but it seems like it'd be a hindrance to the network itself, which is going to be a huge inconvenience for other users. Additionally I know that even if I found a way to throttle my bandwidth to remove this problem, Tor isn't exactly made for this sort of thing anyways.

Now, obviously it doesn't have to be torrenting, but I would gladly hear any suggestions on how to avoid paying and getting movies and shows without being caught doing it. Truthfully I was only streaming from websites for many years, so I do not know a lot about torrenting vs direct downloading either. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Unless this condom has a pocket dimension inside that absorbs all the "genetic information" that's in there and gives it up to someone else to put it in your partner anyways...

Iirc Mulvad doesn't save *any" information since they use a RAM only infrastructure. Yoy can also pay for them with either crypto or by sending them a letter with the money. There's your pocket dimension

Well, by pocket dimension I meant some way to access and store my personal data without me knowing or consenting. There's merit to what you say but how can you be sure that mulvad doesn't save anything at all. Would someone be able to prove it if they did? If they randomly see one day the company is going under and decide to sell everyone out to make a quick buck before abandoning the ship for good?

Truly I may be a little paranoid but its why I'd like to find an alternative with a bit less gambling if it is possible. Especially since the fines will be pretty big if I am caught.
