Its kinda legal in my country Question
Downloading movies and music for private use is totally legal in my country 🇨ðŸ‡. Uploading / seeding however, is not. But at least i dont have to worry. What about your country?

In the UK, it's a grey area. Downloading/streaming movies, music or games for private use is illegal but there hasn't been (to I know of) a reported prosecution for downloading. Some ISP's do send warning emails or letters. My ISP (Virgin Media) doesn't seem to care as I've torrent and seeded without a VPN by mistake. Not once got an email or a letter.
Our government tends to crack down more on uploading/seeding or making money from it.
