how do VPNs keep me safe when I’m *supposedly* torrenting something?

Basically what the title says. I don’t get how VPNs can keep me safe when I’m **hypothetically** torrenting. Can’t ISPs or the company owning the copyright track me down if I were to?

ISP knows who you are but can’t see what you’re sending/receiving.

VPN knows what you’re sending/receiving but can’t see who you are.

There’s ways to identify you but most VPNs are built around the promise they don’t log your activity. Some are also based in other countries whose laws do not provide an avenue for law enforcement to get the information.

Generally speaking, unless you’re into some really bad business, you’ll remain anonymous.
