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.

A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren't already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.

I mean, it still makes sense to also use I2P, but it is currently not good enough as a full replacement.

A VPN company can easily give up your details to the police who are now actively going after citizens. VPNs are not enough anymore.

Is there a problem with I2P adoption? I'm sensing a massive lack of interest from this thread

I admit that I’m skeptical since everyone is a node. It probably is fine, but I don’t know the risks that I take by volunteering as a node. I thought that VPNs can be fine as long as they don’t store logs, but I could be mistaken.

as a node

you are unable to see the contents of traffic you route thanks to layered encryption
you wont be routing traffic to the internet (unless you specifically set it up), but only to other I2P routers
