Interesting, wasn’t aware. It remains illegal in Germany then, as long as you seed. Notice in Germany you will receive a nastygram in any case as long as you’ve been identified as a member in a swarm, even if you do not seed. It would be interesting if someone would contest that, though you will likely lose since technical details don’t matter in most courts.

Without VPN or Usenet subscription it’s going to be difficult and/or illegal.
I don’t think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.
Gets you out of the consequences part though, which is good enough.
Since most VPNs no longer have port mapping it’s a pure download which would make it technically legal e.g. in Germany.
You can seed without port forwarding

No port mapping, no upload, so technically legal where only sharing is penalized. IANAL.
