How to transfer files to iPad from PC privately? (self.apple_enthusiast)

This is the #1 reason why I don't buy Apple anymore. But if there was an easy private way, I'd be open to getting Apple products again.

I simply want to transfer files from my PC to my iPad without any companies collecting info about the files, such as legally acquired mp3 files that dumb corporations will think are pirated.

What are the ways to do this?

Apple opened up windows support drastically a while back. I've also never had iTunes (now Music) care about the source of an mp3. Everytime I imported mp3s of my old CDs, it did it with no fuss about where I got them. So even if you need to use the app to transfer, where you got the files won't be questioned by the software/apple.
