Safe from who? ISPs? Copyright trolls? State law enforcement? Different problems may have different solutions.

People are often safe pirating without a VPN either because of ‘safety in numbers’ (essentially just obscurity) or by living in a region that doesn’t care much about it. But as a distributor, I would assume there is a higher risk if you’re distributing something that will make copyright owners seek a take down.

Further, what is the reason you’re open to onion routing and I2P but not VPNs?

and there’s people who have gotten in trouble because someone else downloaded child pornography through their network.

I doubt that, it sounds like a violation of safe harbor (similar to ISPs and hosting sites not getting in trouble unless they are made aware and fail to act) which is admittedly a gray area. Got a source?
