For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

So with a seedbox its basically an offsite swrver that you tell to download the files you want, rhen you download them direct from the seedbix. Because theyre dedicated servers you get better download and upload speeds for preserving your ratio, you don’t have to use local storage to seed things, and it can be safer if your seed box is in another country because your isp doesn’t see any torrent traffic.
…but if you’re paying for that seedbox with your credit card, aren’t you creating a pretty clear paper trail between you and your piracy?
If the seedbox is in a country that doesn’t care about torrenting and is hosted by a company that doesn’t care, they’re the only ones who would be aware of it. It’s not illegal to pay for a server or to download files from your server.
