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?

Your ISP can log everything you do…
While in most cases they can see what you do because of basic SSL encryption, but they can see how many times you watched yourtube, which video, facebbok instagram, every single website you visited… Even p*rn sites, because incgnito mode does nothing about your ISP

They can see that you are sending and receiving data, movies, music etc…

This information, your habits are extremely valuable on large scale… They can sell that data

VPNs usually advertise themselves that they are not logging you and they are not selling your data… Using a VPN creates an additional layer of encryption and your ISP is only gonna see that you go to a random server sending receiving encrypted data…

Your ISP can’t see inside your data stream anymore and can’t log your habits and the VPN promises not to log you and not look what you do, if you pay your monthly fee…
