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?

Because 1) the traffic is encrypted so your ISP/government can’t see that you are downloading copyrighted material unless they compromise the VPN server and 2) all your traffic goes through the VPN server so the ISP/government can’t see that you are connecting to a website that facilitates said downloads, again, unless they compromise the VPN server.
