This is the (mostly) correct answer.

An additional aspect, you may have DSLite, so you share your IPv4 with other people. So it was them that downloaded the movie and series, and your ISP knows that.

Then again, the horror stories about Germany are true (depending on which exactly I suppose), but yes you’ll only get a lawyer letter in the mail if you download very popular torrents of popular movies that just got released.

And even that just for the production companies that care to employ the “lawyers” who do this kind of stuff (WarnerBros is one of them)

What do you use for music then?

If AirVPN supports OpenVPN (it probably does), there is a way to have an OpenVPN connection that is not actively used unless you specify it for the app which you want.

For instance with qBittorrent you can select to use the VPN network interface in the settings. This has the nice advantage that it also acts like a kill switch.

It is a little bit finicky to set up for the average user, but if you have some basic tech skills it should be easy with the right guide. If you’re interested I canl try to find it.
