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?

If you use a torrenting service you can literally click on the torrent to see the ip of all the people who are currently torrenting this file you can then find out which isp this ip belongs and then send them a letter asking for your details in my country the isp has to comply.
Vpns change your ip Adress so it’s way harder to find out who is actually torrenting. It’s not impossible I think but it’s not worth the bother usually.
A lot of Vpns advertise with their “military grade encryption” which as far as I know doesn’t matter at all.
