Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.

Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You'll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.

I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren't already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.

I mean, it still makes sense to also use I2P, but it is currently not good enough as a full replacement.

You also need to fully encrypt the traffic in your bit torrent client. You will get fewer peers, but it's much safer

Doesn't I2P encrypt the traffic already?
