VPN is too advanced for me, and since it isn't free, doesn't it defeat the purpose?
Couldn't say what's the difference between streaming and torrenting, I go to streaming sites mostly to watch soccer.

A vpn is maybe 50 euros per year I think, so the amount of stuff you can download with it is still very much worth it. Also, I'm no tech expert, it's just a program you download, install and run.
I stopped downloading music since most of the things I listen to is available on spotify but movies and TV shows I still torrent. But I live in the outback of the world so...not really concerned about legal action.
