The content owner could still request your information from the VPN provider and the VPN provider might provide it (even if they say they won't). I think the main benefit is that there are so many individuals torrenting copyrighted material that aren't using VPNs that it means you aren't the "low hanging fruit" so you're considered not worth the effort by the content owners.

- jerheinze 9y agoWhy base your privacy on wishful thinking ("provider is probably not lying") instead of using privacy by design solutions? (e.g. i2p for torrenting)
