Currently I'm using a VPS on Hertzer hosted in Singapore. I might try to torrent movies and games or maybe download videos in bulk using yt-dlp from youtube or maybe even porn. I want to know if its a good idea or should I use a paid vpn inside my VPS. If there is a better alternative like another VPS provider who ignores DMCA notices and stuff, do suggest. I also sync some folders using syncthing. So its kind of a mixed use. I don't know much about networking and stuff, so hopefully nothing too complicated.Thanks in advance.

Pretty much anyone outside the US will ignore the DMCA, since it’s solely American law.

This only applies for non-enterprise. There are hundreds of enterprise businesses who also do business in the US which are required to also follow US laws. So you could have a UK, or Sweden based business who has branches in the US, who also have to follow US law.

It's not quite as cut and dry as you're making it out to be.
