We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.
VPN usually saves your IP too. And they have to give your IP address if requested by government. This might not be true for all countries and all VPN, but be mindful about this. I wouldn’t do anything illegal thinking its safe with a VPN.
