I personally carefully avoid ed2k, gnutella and soulseek, just like in the olden days. But you may also want to avoid YouTube with youtube-dl or YT search in QMPlay2.
Avoid Spotify dl. Easily installed and after insted from the command line by typing spotdl
Thankfully, my ISP informs me if someone on my network shares movies on Bittorent without a VPN. Do ISPs typically do the same for music on the ed2k and gnutella networks?
I don't know whether they detect it (technically no problem), but these are not widely used anymore. In USA maybe, but I live in Russia.
