I love how they always assume pirates would be buying this shitty content at $3/episode in the absence of piracy. They'd be playing videogames or listening to music or podcasts if this crap wasn't free.

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.

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.
