Torrents have become synonymous with copyright abuse and piracy, but the underlying technology is not in itself illegal. Perfectly legal file sharing and torrent sites do exist and are used on a regular basis, such as SXSW and media that falls under the public domain.\nIf you frequent ThePirateBay, uTorrent, RARBG, Putlocker, Zooqle, 1337X or KickassTorrents, however, chances are what you download from these torrenting sites is not legal. Government authorities can fine you for committing a civil offense, while ISPs and copyright holders will threaten and in some cases follow through on legal action. While it's unlikely that a record company will take someone to court, they might seek damages through settlements.\nHere's a quick breakdown on torrenting laws in several\u00a0countries:\nUnited States\nDownloading copyrighted material is illegal in the United States. ISPs often have a three-strike rule if they catch users who illegally download torrents. Non-copyrighted material is completely legal to download.\nAccording to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) website, making unauthorized copies of music recordings could result in a civil lawsuit. It might even land you in jail for up to five years and you could be hit with a fine of up to $250,000.\nCopyright holders often act through copyright trolls, which record IP addresses of torrenters and send settlement letters requesting remuneration. These entities have the right to sue on behalf of the copyright holder, but because an IP address does not legally constitute an identity in the US, the best option for recipients is to ignore them.\nCanada\nThe Copyright Modernization Act passed in January 2014 requires ISPs to send notices to copyright violators on their networks. The recipients' identities are stored on ISP servers for six months. Copyright holders cannot sue for damages of more than $5,000 when the copy is used for non-commercial purposes, which in most cases simply isn't worth the time or effort.\nThe notification system is more educational than legal, but ISPs can still penalize torrenters by choking bandwidth.\nUnited Kingdom\nLarger ISPs are required by law to notify subscribers when the British Phonographic Industry\u00a0catches them downloading torrents in the form of a cease and desist order. ISPs reserve the right to throttle bandwidth and disconnect users. ISPs with fewer than 400,000 subscribers are not subject to this law, however.\nCopyright holders have the right to sue uploaders and downloaders for damages even if no monetary gain was involved.\nMajor ISPs block popular torrent trackers such as ThePirateBay in the UK, but these can still be accessed through a VPN service.\nAustralia\nPiracy is a crime in Australia, but there's little enforcement. It's not completely unheard of for a copyright holder to successfully sue ISPs for torrenters' identities, whom they can then request remuneration from using a practice called speculative invoicing, but it's rare.\nA \"three-strikes\" rule in which ISPs would notify torrenters on behalf of copyright holders was canned earlier this year due to disputes over implementation costs.\nISPs have blocked some torrent trackers and other sites containing infringing content under a court order, such as The Pirate Bay. In 2016, a federal court in Australia ordered ISPs to block BitTorrent tracker sites including ThePirateBay,\u00a0Torrentz, TorrentHound, IsoHunt and SolarMovie. These can still be accessed with any of the VPN providers we listed above.\nIn late 2018, Parliament passed an amendment to the Copyright Act. This amendment lets ISPs censor proxy servers and mirror sites---duplicates of torrent trackers put up after the original site is blocked---without needing to return to court for each injunction. Likewise, Google and other search engines must demote or remove links to infringing sites including their proxies and mirrors.\nThe Netherlands\nWe're adding a section about the Netherlands because there's a huge misconception that pirating copyrighted materials is legal there. As of 2014, it is not. Doing so is considered a civil offense not a criminal one, so you will not be sought out by law enforcement for doing so, but you can be fined.\nHowever, the law states that fines cannot be artificially high, so damages that copyright holders can exact are capped. Early in 2018,\u00a0Netherlands\u2019 privacy watchdog, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), gave permission to Dutch Filmworks to collect IP addresses of anyone illegally downloading content. The company can hand out fines to users and have decided on a fee of 150 Euros per film.\nGermany\nDownloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal in Germany. Enforcement is usually handled by law firms that act on behalf of copyright holders (see: copyright trolls). Fines typically range up to 1,000 Euros.\nSimilar to the US, copyright trolls send threatening letters to torrenters after identifying their IP address. While we're not legal experts in German law, the consensus of what to do if you receive a letter is also similar to the US: if it doesn't identify you by name and doesn't come directly from the police, ignore it and just let the statute of limitations period expire.\nNote that if someone pirates content on an unsecured wifi network, the owner of the wifi network can be held liable for damages, even if they were not aware of the illegal activity taking place. This fine is usually around 100 Euros.\nRelated: Best VPNs for Germany\nIndia\nOnline piracy laws are a little fuzzy in India. A slew of news reports from 2016 suggested that even viewing certain web pages or torrent files (not the copyrighted content itself) was enough to penalize netizens with heavy fines and jail time. This is not true, however; the rumor arose from a poorly-worded warning from Indian ISPs that appeared when users tried to access blocked sites.\nPiracy in India is illegal like anywhere else and could conceivably result in fines or jail time, but the emphasis of enforcement seems to be on redistribution, e.g. bootlegging and selling pirated content, rather than personal consumption.\nRelated: Best VPN for India\nRead more: Is torrenting safe?\nComparitech does not condone or encourage piracy.

Due to the large amount of bandwidth required, many free VPN services prohibit P2P activity. Others aren't secure, and many have data caps. The common adage that comes with free services is that if you don't buy the product, then you are the product. This is especially true because a VPN isn't just a piece of software, it's an ongoing service that requires continuous resources and maintenance.\nTunnelBear, Windscribe, and Hide.Me's free tiers are all a bit more reputable, but they have speed or data caps that aren't ideal for torrenting. TunnelBear and VPNGate, a community-run VPN project, explicitly prohibit P2P file sharing.\nWe passed on several paid VPN providers as well. PureVPN, VyprVPN, HideMyAss, Overplay, and Hotspot Shield all failed to make the cut due to their logging policies. IronSocket and BolehVPN were left out due to performance concerns.\nOther so-called free VPNs for torrenting can actually degrade your privacy rather than improve it. Some of them keep logs of your activity, inject tracking cookies into your web browser, insert advertisements on web pages, or even carry malware payloads.\nHola\nSome unscrupulous free VPN providers could well be scraping users' personal data and selling it to third parties. One such high-profile case was Hola, a free VPN provider based in Israel. Hola was caught selling users' bandwidth, and it was criticized for being opaque about how each Hola user became a node on the network rather than hosting its own dedicated VPN servers.\nVPNGate\nVPNGate is a fantastic academic initiative out of Japan that aims to uncensor the web for people living under oppressive anti-free speech regimes. It uses a network of volunteer nodes around the world as relays. It discourages P2P file sharing activities that would hog the network, however, and it keeps logs for up to three months to help weed out abuse and criminal wrongdoing.\nIronSocket\nIronSocket doesn't keep logs, but the majority of its servers expressly prohibit P2P activity. Those non-P2P servers block all P2P connections. Even if it doesn't keep logs, that means it is monitoring your activity at some level.\nRead our full review of IronSocket.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Paul Bischoff","description":"Paul is Comparitech\u2019s editor and a regular commentator on cyber security and privacy topics in national and international media including New York Times, BBC, Forbes, The Guardian and many others.

Because all of the files you download and upload via BitTorrent are encrypted when they pass through your ISP's server networks, their contents cannot be identified. It would take a monumental time- and resource-consuming effort for an ISP to even attempt to crack the encryption put in place by your VPN service.\nSecondly, a VPN prevents other users from downloading and\/or uploading the same files as you from seeing your IP address. BitTorrent is a P2P, or peer-to-peer, protocol. That means everyone who uses the same torrent file is connected in what's known as a \"swarm\". Each device connected to the swarm can see all of the other IP addresses of all the other devices in the swarm. Many BitTorrent clients even allow you to view a list of other devices you're connected to when leeching or seeding files on the network.\nWithout a VPN, your real IP address can be used to identify your approximate location and internet service provider. This is how copyright trolls are able to find torrenters and send them threatening settlement letters (read about how to respond to these in our torrenting safety and legal guide).\nA VPN masks your IP address so that other devices in the swarm only see the IP address of the P2P VPN server. The best VPNs for torrenting typically use shared IP addresses, meaning dozens and even hundreds of users are assigned the same IP address. This large pool of users makes it next to impossible to trace torrenting activity back to a single person. Furthermore, if you use one of the logless VPNs on this list, the VPN provider won't have any user information to hand over should a third party request it.\nMasking your IP address also protects you from hackers that would use it as a backdoor into your system, find out personal information about you, or even harass you at your home. Your IP address is like your home address, but for your computer. Someone who knows it can find out where you are.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Paul Bischoff","description":"Paul is Comparitech\u2019s editor and a regular commentator on cyber security and privacy topics in national and international media including New York Times, BBC, Forbes, The Guardian and many others.

What's more, torrenting exposes you to files from unknown sources so protecting your identity is usually desirable. We strongly recommend you only torrent content you have the legal right to access to avoid landing yourself in hot water.\u00a0 If someone gets caught, it probably won't be the police or the copyright owner who comes knocking.\nCopyright holders are often large media companies that outsource piracy litigation to shifty law firms dubbed \"copyright trolls\". Copyright trolls monitor popular torrents for the unique IP addresses of devices that connect to the swarm to upload or download files. They then match those IP addresses to the internet service providers that assigned them to customers. The copyright troll goes through the ISP to send a settlement letter or a copyright violation notice to each torrenter. Settlement letters demand money and threaten legal action if the users don't pay.\nAs you can imagine, disguising your IP address is popular with BitTorrent users. All VPNs mask your real IP address with that of the VPN server. Unfortunately, not all of them do a very good job. Most VPNs don't protect against certain types of leaks that can expose your real IP address to third parties. These include DNS leaks, IPv6 leaks, and WebRTC leaks.\n\nDNS leaks occur when a DNS request is sent outside of the encrypted VPN tunnel, exposing the IPv4 address. All the VPNs we recommend protect against this type of leak.\nIPv6 leaks occur when IPv4 traffic goes through the tunnel, but IPv6 traffic does not. This is common on Windows 10 PCs. Some VPNs protect against it, but it's advisable to simply disable IPv6 if you suffer from this leak.\nWebRTC is a communications protocol for voice and video chat apps that run in your browser, like Skype for Chrome. Even if you have a VPN enabled, a WebRTC request can reveal your real IP address. Very few VPNs protect against WebRTC leaks, but you can alternatively disable WebRTC in your browser.\n\nThe best VPN apps protect against all of these leaks in all situations. ExpressVPN and NordVPN are notably leak-proof thanks to a combination of kill switches and leak protection measures. Even if your connection is disrupted somehow, no identifiable traffic escapes the tunnel.\nFurthermore, it's essential to choose a VPN that keeps no logs. Many VPNs claim to be logless, but that claim often only applies to traffic logs of your online activities. Many supposedly \"no-log\" VPNs still record users' IP addresses, which is a no-no for torrenters and anyone else who cares about their privacy. None of the VPNs in our list store traffic logs or IP address logs.\nDid you know? After years of decline, BitTorrent use has started to increase.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Paul Bischoff","description":"Paul is Comparitech\u2019s editor and a regular commentator on cyber security and privacy topics in national and international media including New York Times, BBC, Forbes, The Guardian and many others.
