Awesome comment and ChatGPT's response was brilliant, nice one ๐
PS. If you can't be bothered with a VPN you can just use Tor Browser. Or if you're feeling brave/lucky you can just change your DNS servers to something like OpenDNS and access the sites via your normal browser (ideally in Private/Incognito mode), but use the Magnet links instead of downloading .torrent files to look slightly less suspicious. ๐โค๏ธ
This is pretty bad advice and doesn't offer much protection. Incognito/private browsing modes don't prevent tracking or the leaking of data that could incriminate you, and neither does using a magnet link with your real IP address.
True, hence the "brave/lucky" tag ๐ but yeah best not to do it
Most of the sites listed in the article weren't P2P anyway, so changing DNS servers like you suggested would realistically be enough in this case. If people do want to torrent copyrighted material, though, a VPN is always recommended.
