Torrenting is going to be wild in 2025.
At least until they decide to Make it illegal for ISPs to allow you to torrent.
And yes I hear all the people saying can't, won't, laws, to which I say those things are all tenuous at best at the moment.
Doesn't a VPN already circumvent this? ISPs already send out copyright violation emails if you torrent the wrong thing, but not if you do it through a VPN.
From a Sony legal perspective, yes.
When Big Brother decides to force ISPs to tamp it down, they'll do stuff like set limits on unidentifiable traffic, set caps just above reasonable streaming levels.
When there's no freedom of speech, no right to be innocent, you can tell who's torrenting, especially if you don't have to be 100% right to kick them off your network.
