Also keep in mind that at least in Germany the act of just downloading something is not illegal. Only the uploading/seeding of content is. So just admitting to having downloaded something is not admitting to a crime at all.

Gotta listen to some Götz Widmann haha.

No, downloading is illegal too. It’s just the uploading/seeding that gets actively enforced since it’s a more serious crime
