The alternative is pirating (which I’m all for), which also should be done through a vpn anyway.
Many (most? It’s just north America I guess) countries don’t give a shit about piracy and would never allow an ISP to give out ips and personal information to companies so they could sue. So, depending where you live, no VPN needed.
