im starting to learn and search about torrent and piracy in general, do I need a VPN even if my country does not care at all about piracy?

Back before I knew about Debrid services and was fooling around with kodi (5yrs ago roughly), every now and again the email I get from my ISP received “cease and desist” notices from HBO’s lawyers stateside. I have ignored them, realizing that the network’s costs to prosecute under Canadian law (where I am) would far outweigh any judgement our courts might be able to levy.

The laws are likely in place in your jurisdiction too, it’s just that the stick is usually considered threatening enough to most people that they just pay for the carrot rather than face the consequences.
