I know this is a dumb question… But i cant really aford a vpn like at all, is it possible to torrent without using a vpn in the USA or will i get in some trouble and go to jail if i torrent without a vpn?

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

    This doesn’t really track, or it’s just worded weird. You can start working part-time at age 14 in most states in the US. Now, you could be a student who’s too busy with school/sports to get a job, but if you have time to pirate I doubt that’s a limiting factor.

    Now, I don’t personally care what your actual case is. I’m just pointing out that your claims don’t add up.

      This is a joke, right?

      The US is currently economically collapsing, nearly every company/corp is firing and laying people off, an entry level job requires 3 to 5 years of experience, and something like 60% of companies freely admit to posting ghost jobs, fake online job listings that never actually result in a hire, or are just done to pretend an internal promotion is actually being competetively sourced to the whole job market.

      It is extremely difficult for young people to find a job right now, one that ends up paying more than they’d lose in the costs of buying a car and gas and insurance to get to said job.
