Even if you do pay them anonymously, your IP will be recorded when you access/download from them. Case in point: Mullvad was forced to shut off port-forwarding because of torrent traffic on their network. Mullvad allows you to pay with Monero.

Don't do it for the privacy, do it because having the server in a different country like the Netherlands makes it easier to pirate. For all they know, you're just accessing random IPs in the Netherlands and all they see is HTTPS traffic.

That's the thing, you'd have to connect to the seedbox via VPN anyways.

I'm using usenet anyway, always have, always will ;⁠-⁠)

How do you find good things on Usenet now? So much of it is uploaded encrypted

That's what the indexer is for, no? Gives you the keys and a map.
