Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I honestly don't believe I will have any legal trouble because I don't do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

If you're self-hosting a VPN that you're using for piracy, you'll still have an unique IP associated with you, and your hosting provider knows that you're using that IP. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

But if the server is located in a piracy-friendly country, doesn't that solve the problem?
