No, your seedbox is being paid for by you, so unless you're paying in gold bars or perfectly laundered Monero, they know who you are already and see you pirating and presumably don't care. A third party like your ISP would only see that A sftp transfer is happening, not what's in it. The whole enforcement mechanism for torrent piracy is based on you seeding to randos on the internet, which would be totally inapplicable when sftp-ing to yourself.

Question kinda related to this post.

I’m looking to get back into piracy and have been saving to build a server to handle it. I’m now hearing about these seed boxes in the cloud.

So my question is this a viable option until I build a server. Like I can set up torrents and maybe Radarr, etc. then just use my home pc for Jellyfin and connect it to the seed box? Or is the seed box mainly used to do the torrenting before you STFP the files to your actual server?

Afaik, most seedboxes don't give you full root login, you just get bittorrent and sftp, but if you find a full cloud VPS solution that's friendly with sailing the seas, you could setup whatever you want.
