Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.

Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You'll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.

I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

I have lots of questions. I’ve always heard to use a VPN that doesn’t keep logs, this is the first I’ve heard of i2p. If I add i2p trackers that implies I still have non-i2p trackers so can still be identified. I feel like I need way more information on how to do this safely before I change anything.

Obviously, this doesn't change anything if you're still seeding to the clearnet. All this would do is cross-seed your torrents to the I2P network. I assume you have a suitable torrenting strategy already for the clearnet. If some day you were to abandon the clearnet for I2P, you would no longer need to take the precautions you do now because I2P is inherently private.

Please skim through the documentation for a high-level overview on I2P, and ask here if you don't understand something
