The only thing that is actually illegal is distributing a fan edit. It’s perfectly legal to create a fan edit and watch it in your own home. It’s not even technically illegal to download anything copyrighted… only uploading.

In addition - it’s generally a civil matter and not a criminal one (the potential damages are very steep, but there’s no risk of jail time or criminal record… that generally would only happen if you were profiting from it).

All that being said; I wouldn’t use my real name and I would use a VPN for all torrent/upload/download activity. (not that I would know anything about that 😃)
