why? I have never used a VPN for decades and terabytes of torrenting. Not a peep from my ISP (virgin media, uk)

Because not everyone lives in the UK? And even if you do, ISPs can store data long-term, waiting for the laws to change and then retroactively find which customers they should keep a closer eye on.

Not to mention the non-ISP groups which also monitors the DHT for who downloads content they "own", ready to serve the data to governments at request.

    Fair enough, that makes sense. I meant to ask "why should I", my miscommunication.
