Almost, but since it publicly associates the files you share with your IP address, I don't see most interested people willing to use it in this context.

- 0des 5y agoPinning services exist, VPN's exist, also every other technology including torrents exposes your IP.
- soylentcola 5y agoTrue, but torrents et al make you a peer, so you're also distributing, not just saving a copy locally. At least that's how I've always understood it in terms of legal risk. But yeah, VPN has (so far) been enough for me to avoid being low hanging fruit when torrenting something I don't have a license to "distribute" while seeding.
