if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn’t be held accountable. thoughts?

    Possible, but personally if I was running a public WiFi it’d have outbound port restrictions and app checking to avoid liability for just such a reason… So in theory no they couldn’t tie it to you with certainty unless it was one of those things like ‘use your library ID to log into the captive portal’, but a decent admin wouldn’t allow it.
