Unless you have a reason to hide, no one really cares. If OP is in the US it would take at least two subpoenas (one for reddit Lemmy to get OP’s IP address, and one to OP’s ISP to match the IP to a physical address) to figure out who OP is. If OP isn’t in the US then it gets a lot more difficult.
We’re on Lemmy, not reddit. Your instance admin likely doesn’t have a legal team, if nothing else you’ll be putting them at risk.
IDK why people are so flippant about this. The US intelligence agencies absolutely have the means and resources to surveil you if you give them the slightest reason to. Even if they DGAF about your pirating, doing so could flag you for further monitoring and they can do so even if you have a VPN in place.
VPN’s aren’t armor, they’re more like camouflage. But if you’re running through the thicket yodeling about the crimes you’re committing, that camouflage isn’t doing you much good.
