For me there's no "get caught", and many stuff are only available trough torrent, like some old/obscure movies (some could take a week to download), other only trough DDL like some UK TV shows.

There's a reason why Russia evaded Ukraine, because decisions like this.
Transnistria in Moldova is a Russian outpost since the 90's,
Chechnya didn't have any backlash when tried to breakup from russia instead cities got flattened.

That's why Graphene and CalyxOS exist.
In Portugal it's called Salazar, the same name of the dictator
