In France it is not very necessary, the hadopi will send you warnings. You need to stop at least 6 month after you receive a mail warning.
Then you are good to go.
I use stremio for ages without any problems.
Still i recommend vpn usage for torrents. You can share accounts with multiple persons to lower the price.
In Belgium, I torrented for a decade when I was younger, and I recently (about a year ago) switched back to torrenting as streaming services get more fragmented and more expensive.
I've never had any letter or email from anyone for torrenting. Some of my friends torrent much more than me and haven't either.
My coworkers from NL and UK are terrified of me even mentioning torrenting.
Hi country mate :), I am using protection, you never now..
