This would be terrible, because any website could potentially make you a seeder for „illegal“ content while normally browsing the web without a VPN. Meaning, your real IP address may accidentally be recorded by some lawerers and you'll get a fine for whatever you accidentally shared (very dangerous, depending on country).

There are already solutions for webtorrents, but at least these scripts can be blocked.

No Herr officer, I was just trying to download my favorite distros, and I don't know where all that Metallica/Disney/Nintendo came from.

While I appreciate the reference, most kids probably don't know about the whole Metallica Napster thing.
