Lets say that I download a tv series through a torrent, and then I continue to see it. If I am not on a VPN, there is a chance that the movie studio can come after me for stealing/sharing this content.

If I do the same thing on a VPN, I am safe. How does the VPN provider get away without issue though? The trackers would still show a location that accessed/shared the data. Would the studios not be able to go after the VPN client for this?

Or in a more serious case, child pornography. If someone is sharing their illegal pictures/videos, would the VPN providers not be complicit, since they are aiding in the distribution of CP?
