Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I honestly don't believe I will have any legal trouble because I don't do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

I am not sure, possibly not. Of course this isn't the ideal scenario, this is why port forwarding is still recommended, but you probably still get away without using it, if you download mostly freeleach and popular torrents. That way you can 1:1 the ratio during the download.
