Almost every time "regular" people get in trouble for piracy, the reason is that they seeded something, a copyright law firm (or their contractor) noticed it, noted their IP address and then either went and got the real life address from the ISP so that they could send you "the bill" or they made the ISP send you something, depending on where you live really.

That means, as long as that that IP address that shows up on that law firms screen isn´t actually "your own", isn´t immediately traceable to you simply by calling up your ISP, you´re already one step ahead in the game.

That law firm might still try to contact the owner of that IP though, either to send them "a bill" or to get them to rat on you. And that´s why it is important that your VPN provider operates in a way that allows them to simply ignore that. Either by operating out of a country that doesn´t mandate them to "help finding you" or by simply not keeping any logs of what actual IP was connected to what VPN IP at what time.

So if you have a VPN provider that maybe operates out or through a country where piracy is legal or has proven through audits that they couldn´t rat even if they wanted, you´re highly unlikely to get into any trouble.

People could also dump their already purchased coins into fuck spez posts to be fair. Just because they gave an award here doesn't mean they specifically purchased it for that occasion.

It´s fascinating how some people are so excited about this while others hate it. Shows how important proper communication is.
