    a law company can basically send a legal letter asking your ISP

    It’s the same in France, and I guess also all over Europe. Those companies mostly look at who is seeding torrents, and that’s why you can safely use direct-downloads like Uptobox (DD) or Usenet.

    VPNs can fail and not all VPNs allow you to torrent

    You’re pretty safe if you use the application given by the VPN, and most don’t care about torrents. Also e.g. Mullvad has a page to make sure that you are not leaking info (https://mullvad.net/en/check) and other VPNs should have this too.

    You can stream movies

    The article is wrong here: you either download or you torrent. “Streaming” is not a technical concept. You mostly get caught when you seed.

    GitHub (and the others) are more inclusive than ever: free to fork, free to work.

    You’re describing and demanding additional work that takes time, and that they may not want to do at the time. If you want it, fork it and do it since it’s free for you.
