I don't live in the US, so my ISP doesn't really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren't cheap and I'm on a strict budget (wouldn't pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

I live in 3rd world country where the government doesn't care much about torrent/piracy too. So far there's no problem.

I guess it depends more on the country you live. If nobody is using VPN, you will probably be fine.
