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!
It happened many times, for example this is the latest https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/inside-the-fbi-the-911-s5-cyber-threat-061124.mp4/view
They saw the encrypted traffic between the VPN server and the botnet command server, matched with the traffic between ISP and VPN
It took years and years: this extensive investigation with the collaboration of law enforcement of multiple countries is only for big criminals
