Do I need a VPN for this? Or can I just play my damn movie without being worried?

[–] rambos@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First time I see this, but feels like something I would hide behind VPN. Most people use VPN to hide their home IP from ISP or goverment. 5€ a month should be enough for decent VPN. Lot of people dont care at all and never have a problem. I was torrenting for many years with no vpn, only got vpn recently just because I feel better 😜

Thank you. I'm asking because I don't want to get into any legal trouble, even though I don't see why I would. I'm only streaming it through a public site, not downloading any movies. I just don't want to deal with shit.

I think you’ll be fine even without a vpn, since you’re not seeding nor hosting the content, just streaming it.

Thank you. I've always been under this impression, but just wanted to make sure
