im pretty sure no one who is able to aquire or already possesses a botnet would be asking such a question lmao
True.
Depends on what you’re doing and where. Just like the guy from a country that doesn’t care about copy right laws you can do whatever you want. If you’re in a country that does care then you’d need either A and ISP that doesn’t care (Google Fiber absolutely does, but others don’t) or B a good private tracker.
Depends on the country. I once got some people in trouble when I passed through Germany because I didn't know internet is heavily censored/surveilled there. Haven't had trouble anywhere else though. Do some research on your country.
The biggest threats come from the movie industry. Just use streaming sites for movies and series, torrent the other stuff.
Look into Tribler, I2P and Utopia.
I2P has a built in torrent client.
But you need a computer running 24/7. With i2p, the longer your session runs, the better the connection.

There are very few countries where torrenting is safe. Generally speaking: No. You can try file hosters or other platforms, or share a VPN with a friend or use services similar to a VPN. AFAIK there is not alternative that's as fast and convenient as Torrent, though.
Do you have any access to internet services without registering with your name?
Maybe at public transportation, in a mall... Please don't bring trouble to any small businesses.
Be prepared to find usual ports blocked and research on how to randomize your MAC address.
Look I2P. Don't know for sure. But read somewhere that it can be used for privacy.
Slow, limited options, but great anonymity and free.
I have a seedbox (ultra cc). The legally questionable part happens between the seeder and my seedbox IP. I download the files via SSH/SFTP with my blank IP. Since 7 years. No popo yet.
Debrid services are usually cheaper (as low as $2.5/month), but you're limited to public trackers with them.

Depends on country. Depends on ISP. Look for how your ISP reponds to such things. Should be able to find info on that, I'd hope.
what keywords should i look out for? searching my ISP and "Piracy" makes is seem like they're pretty active about this stuff

Without VPN or Usenet subscription it's going to be difficult and/or illegal.
difficult and/or illegal.
I don't think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.
Since most VPNs no longer have port mapping it's a pure download which would make it technically legal e.g. in Germany.

i mean its always illegal no? you just dont get caught as easily with a VPN
No port mapping, no upload, so technically legal where only sharing is penalized. IANAL.
