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.

similar yes but not the same. tor held together by volunteer that run nodes, i2p everyone is a node. tor good for clearnet things, i2p good for in-network things. torrenting in i2p is good for i2p, not tor. torrenting in i2p stays in the i2p network, doesn't go through exit nodes. there's only about 3 of those. it's torrenting as a darknet hidden service.

Yeah, thanks for clearing this up. I was also reading: https://geti2p.net/en/comparison/tor if people want to know more in depth.

After reading that whole page, I think your point is missing.. The use case of Tor and i2p isn't correctly explained on that site.

yeah some of the docs on the official site lean more technical than practical
