I love Mullvad and used them for years, but without port forwarding, they're not the service you want for torrenting. Some alternatives like AirVPN or ProtonVPN are better suited for that stuff.
Before the haters jump in and tell me "it works fine fer me!" it's only working because the user on the other end, like myself, have port forwarding set up. Since you don't have it, you'll never connect to anyone else like yourself nor will they be able to connect to you.
Of course there are alternatives like streaming and Usenet but there are tradeoffs no matter what you pick.
Best alternative is a seedbox. Preferably in the Netherlands.

"the internet" is a necessity and requirement to function in society. You can't be denied access to it anymore, it would be disproportionate.

And how do users connect to your port if your VPN-WAN doesnt have a port forward?
Same problem at a different point in the connection.wan -> wireguard client
wireguard client -> lan

And OpenAI of course.
But it's not piracy if you use it for an LLM, right‽

4G piracy hub go brrrrr? Go ahead, disconnect me. I will get another SIM and resume piracy.
Several countries require proof of ID to purchase a SIM card.

In the beginning we used to exchange cassettes. You would have a boombox with two cassettes. You would play one while you recorded on the other. Then you gave the cassette back to your friend. Next was the VCR with the big ass cassettes.
Then you would do the same with floppies, then zip disks. Then one day CD recording was a thing, then DVDs. Then thumb drives and now portable HDDs. Basically the cheapest form or recording is always the most popular way for people to share stuff.
The only ones who don't want us to share are those who want to make millions by never innovating.
I couldn't afford one of those fancy 2-cassette boomboxes, so I had my friend bring his tape deck and we put them real close together in the quietest room of the house and recorded that way. Having several siblings meant that there were no quiet places, so we used the empty garage when my parents were at work. The audio was autrocious, tons of echo and static, but I played that tape thin until it snapped.

Guess it's time to go underground, sigh.
You should already be underground

I keep my seedbox in the planter at the coffee shop down the road with free WiFi.

Yes we are all training our LLMs. Perfectly legal.

Don't give them ideas. Next they'll cut the blood stream to your brain.
Supreme Court: "One of us! One of us!"

to be fair the treaty never specified anything about water, and the Navajo nations should have had better lawyers or better guerilla warfare tactics if they wanted more negotiating power.

(Donald trump voice)
"We should hold all food companys liable for users violent crimes, this man stabbed another man to death with a spoon! 30 minutes before he ate kraft mac and cheese. It gave him the energy to violently stab this innocent man"Lets hope they got common sense
What's crazy is that Trump claims to be against the current ruling in Sony's favor, and is siding with Cox.

ISPs already do that here in the states. The court case is to decide whether they should shut off access.
I can tell you that Mediacom cable will cut your service off for it, and you have to call in and get scolded before they turn it back on.
And, if it happens 3 times, your service is disconnected permanently.

A load of game patchers use torrent tech to improve speeds. Lots of gamers torrent with out even realizing it
Hell, windows itself does it.

Pretty sure I have read somewhere that it is now also an official necessity in Germany

Pretty sure they've already done that by not regulating social media better

Ah yes I keep forgetting about all of those countries that the US Supreme Court has jurisdiction over
