This feels like something that should be used with a VPN. Be careful.

That is nonsense.

At least in the US, no one has ever been charged for using (implicitly non-p2p) streaming sites. People are charged for distribution - that is, the upload portion of p2p. Just viewing stuff in your browser is perfectly safe without a VPN.

Right, the concern is that is true until it isn't safe. Someone is going to be the first to be charged.
