Exactly, which is why you don’t need a VPN if you use a Debrid service. No files are being uploaded. The Debrid service handles that for you by downloading the torrent to a remote server, than giving you a direct download link to the file. Nothing is being uploaded from your end.

Many places don’t enforce those laws for simply torrenting.
Some countries (US) ask the ISP to send warning letters and might disable the internet. In other countries law firms get personal details from the ISP and send a costly letter of a thousand Euro for a single infraction like in Germany.

That’s true, but ISPs have logs. And if something happens that makes the police change their mind about enforcing the law, you might be fucked, retroactively.

Again, not an issue if you use a Debrid service, because no files are being uploaded.
