As I said, since I have a VPN anyway, torrents are literally free for me. I believe you, I just don't want to pay for another service.

Alright fine. I hope I managed to convince at least one other person, though...

Also the other problem I have is that when I start paying for a piracy service, then when the service gets busted and I'm in any way identifiable as their customer, I might very easily be in legal trouble. With a VPN at least you have plausible deniability that you're using it just to stay as private as possible.
