The difference is governments will pursue online drug selling while often they will not dedicate resources to piracy
There are differences but the point is that are illegal and existe laws for that.
Just look at Nintendo or the notices from the ISP.
He ask if can have problems and the answer is yes.
Can? Sure. Will? Hell no!
There are so many people who will stream pirated content on their wi-fi or cellular with no VPN or proxy of any sort and face no consequences, so running it through both a VPN and TOR (which is so secure that the US military uses it) will basically guarantee safety unless you’re breaking some other law that’s taken more seriously (such as selling drugs), that’s what they’re getting at. Is it technically in some form possible to find them? Yes. But when you’re just streaming a movie and the effort required to find you would be the federal government tearing the entire TOR network apart, you will not be caught.
The price of the operation alone would be greater than the max fine of 250,000 dollars, and again the government does not care about piracy almost at all. You won’t even get a C&D unless you basically call your ISP to tell them you’re streaming pirated content
It’s a matter of probabilities but OP asked if it’s possible and it really is.
He decides what not to do according to what they tell him.
I’m not telling you what to do or not.
PD: If " the government does not care about piracy almost at all " there were no laws for that and the courts of certain countries would not act. What difference does it make to use the TOR network and a vpn if there are no risks?
Honestly? It gets your ISP out of your ass. You’ll only be prosecuted if you’re a distributor, other than that, it just stops your ISP from rate-limiting you or cutting off your internet
He says that stream content so maybe that count as “distributor” don’t you think? 
…No, I don’t think being a consumer makes you a distributor. A distributor is the one who hosts the files and streams them, OP is the opposite of a distributor
It’s not what YOU think is what it is. Use your pc to stream copyright material for the law is ilegal and they will pursue to collect at least a large fine.
Is what OP ask.
Yes it is illegal, no they will not pursue it. They may have a team dedicated to some larger scale pirates, but generally speaking, it’s not worth the resources to catch them. Think about what you would have to do to prove that you downloaded an illegal file, they would have to prove that it was on your hard drive (basically impossible if you delete and overwrite it), prove that it was downloaded on your internet connection (needs compliance from the ISP and whatever VPN you use), prove that you knew you downloaded it, and prove that you installed it for the express purpose of piracy.
I don’t know why you keep arguing this, the odds of you being prosecuted and taken to trial for piracy as a downloader is somewhere between zero and very very very low. Especially so when you consider that these sites run out of russia and other such countries that won’t cooperate. Someone like DODI or Fitgirl? Sure, they’re a distributor, but a downloader is not worth their resources
