Question out of curiosity, do you then keep stuff on the seedbox only or do you download to your local hard drive in your country? Because that download would still be illegal or wouldn't it? Just if we are talking about legality of things, everything else set aside.
Downloading copyrighted material isnt a crime; redistribuiting it is. (Seeding, in the case of torrents)
But then leeching via torrents is also legal. So one could just be an asshole for legality's sake.
That is coincidentally exactly what meta is arguing in their lawsuit.
