He isn't even being better than anyone, all he does is publicity stunts while not fixing anything. Everything he has donated was for tax writeoffs.

Torrenting on the TOR network is actively discouraged. It uses a lot of bandwidth, and it hurts other people's speeds.

If you want to torrent on an anonymous network, use I2P. It may be harder to set up than TOR, but you can torrent entirely inside it. It has trackers inside, and a lot of clearnet torrents have also been listed on them. And most importantly, I2P is more prepared for torrenting than TOR is. When you connect to it, you add capacity to the network, so using bandwidth for torrenting is not as detrimental to it.

This. Actually most countries leave you alone if you're not trying to profit from torrents. I can say the same about Spain, I've never heard of anyone getting any warning for torrenting and half the people I know torrent everyday without a VPN.

That is exactly my point. If you use encryption, they will not be able to retroactively see what you torrented, and they can't punish you just for having torrent traffic because it could be legal torrents.

There's FinAmp for jellyfin. There's also support for LiveTV and I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a plugin for IPTV.

There is encryption that will save you unless ISPs use shadow peers, which they can't use retroactively.

Edit, cuz I think the scope of my original comment has been misunderstood, my bad:

Of course, ISPs can still know you're torrenting, and if they don't like that, you will get letters. But they can't know what you torrented.

If you're gonna torrent, get informed about the laws in your country and how ISPs enforce anti-piracy measures, and if you can freely torrent in your country, there's no need to use a VPN. Encryption will save you from ISPs retroactively snooping on what you torrented.
