I just want to torrent a little HQ music with metadata man.

I used to pay for streaming music but due to current affairs and financial instability… I wont pay for that shit anymore.

I was thinking doing the whole shenanigans with an old laptop, a fresh VPN account, scanning with clamav, moving everything to my cloud drive etc.

But is it even worth the extra steps if I won’t get in any trouble for raw dogging the torrents from my main workstation and my everyday VPN account?

I did some research and found many people recommend some level of opsec. Does it matter?

I’m not US based but I am close with many people that is, both professionally and personally.

    That’s actually a legal gray area in Germany. It’s unclear whether the browser cache legally counts as downloading. In any case, it’s not enforced. It’s only torrenting/uploading that gets people into trouble.
