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!
If I was just downloading stuff, I wouldn’t be using a VPN. Not sure if it’s illegal but it’s just not worth it for the police to go after people who just download. With torrents, due to the way they work, you’re also uploading. That’s the reason you should use a VPN when downloading with torrents.
