ironman wroteTo be honest the whole thing started with that:
I configured a Plex media server on the cloud, with a complete torrenting solution that downloads movies and transfers them to the Plex library. The whole system is automated.
After downloading a specific movie, i got an email from the Cloud vendor saying that they received a claim from Paramount pictures regarding a movie i downloaded, and they will take legal action unless i reply within 24 hours describing what happened....
It seems that the torrent client on the cloud used something called "public tracker" and this usually happens since i didn't configure the torrent client to use a VPN.
This changed my whole perspective regarding privacy, i always torrent from my home IP address without an issue.
This is why i am trying to buy a VPN subscription without even using my credit card and it seems that there is no way, especially with the dollar issue that we are currently facing.
Seems you were easy to catch because of the amount of traffic going to through your IP. They might have some kind of algorithm which tracks their intellectual properties and their respective traffic.
But why would you automate such a process, I mean we all know it is illegal?
