Right? They only get your for torrenting because they’re torrenting it too.
A single download source you trust is usually fine unless you’ve got a super-narc for an ISP.

Direct downloads are fine enough.

Unfortunately in my area Comcast has a super monopoly and they’re huge narcs

Depends on where you are. Don’t try that in Germany, you’ll get a hefty fine.

A fine for pirating? How awful.

Yeah, we just get a notice from the ISP, if that.

A friend who lives both in the Netherlands and Germany forgot to turn off his torrent client on his laptop. A movie finished downloading when he arrived in Germany, he got a fine of €1500. I don’t understand why anyone would use torrents. Since I told him about usenet he’s never had an issue. But it might be that he has a VPN now too, but I’m not sure about it.
