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?

Yeah i agree I torrent only occasionally and I haven't ever received an ISP angry letter but that's sounds right to me ...

The only thing I never understood is if I use a VPN my traffic is passed encrypted to a remote server somewhere else but from there on its unencrypted so the servers owner ISP should notify him about my inlecit traffic and it make sense he will notify me back so what's the point in relocating an angry letter... ?
