    If someone is actually trying to convict you just based on the correlation of the connection times, you probably don’t just share a copyrighted movie. So why mentioning this as an actual threat in the first place?

      There’s nothing saying that tomorrow this isn’t the case. Laws are fluid, just because they won’t come after people currently for small time piracy does not mean that won’t change.

        Tomorrow passwords will be cracked in no time, because most algorithms are not quantum safe. Same with password length.

        I never said it is not an attack vector. There are dozens if not hundreds. The question is about the probability, which is always a dimension if you manage risks. There is no need to list all theoretical possible attack vectors, if the probability of actually happening only affects 2 people on this planet.

        Videos for educational purposes should not sensationalize unlikely attacks, as it only causes unnecessary fear. I’d rather have someone using torrent on VPN than not using anything at all because they are now afraid of the government.
