Like the stupid newbie goober I am, I forgot the first step to downloading music: do it in a public setting with a public wifi. Ended up downloading it all at home off of our private wifi. Did use a VPN but forgot to switch it from my home country. Kind of wondering how easy it is to trace me and persecute me for this. I am not the one handling the ordeal with the wifi, that would be my lovely mother.

Cheers y'all!

Ayo, just saw this and wanna say that by downloading music from deezer it's probably appearing as if you legitimately downloaded a lot of music today. Deezer even lets you download music offline. Kinda doubt anyone can tell apart legitimate use from your use. You didnt torrent music which could theoricially raise a red flag. (I have downloaded ~3k+ songs from my home netowork without vpn with Deemix in Greece.) You should probably be fine:)

I don't even fully understand torrenting and how to do it, so I suppose that's a relief in this case. I can be carelessly quick with stuff like this, lol.
