If your IPS and the local authorities will not do anything if you download, upload and publish anything, what is the bare minimum of security measures you can do? Context: I live in Southamericas, here we have worse thing to deal with.

I've personally been doing this for many years, seeding all sorts of nasty stuff and no one that I know has ever gotten so much as an email.

Feel free to use no privacy measures, but at least setup an alert so you know if your country's police decides to start persecuting pirates.

I recommend u setup a Google alert with a query like "YOUR-COUNTRY-HERE arrestan pirateria". So if a news article that matches that query ever gets posted online, you'll instantly get an email

Don't worry, it's probably going to be killed soon like all good Google products

I wouldn't worry about that. Google has had this feature for a VERY VERY long time.

You can see many Google services have been deleted even after 10 years of service :(
