Will my ISP detect me if I'm on a VPN?

Question

VPN

Good afternoon.
A few questions please:

1. If I am under a VPN, can the provider detect me, more precisely, see what I am downloading from a torrent and what exactly I am downloading (what movie or program)?
   
2. Does the provider have the right to sue me for downloading from a torrent or can only the one who owns the copyright do it? (It will be interesting for Ukraine and Russia)
   
3. Does the provider store information about users (what did they download and when and to what extent), or is the provider not interested? And if I'm under VPN, is information about the files I downloaded available to the provider from torrent sites?

Answer 1

1. No.
2. No, we don't have such laws yet, unlike, for example, Germany.
3. Yes, it does, according to the Yarovaya law. If you downloaded via VPN, then your encrypted traffic is stored.

Answer 2

The provider knows the most important thing: who, when and what was the IP. Therefore, not they , but theirs . And they don't track who downloads , who distributes (that is, "distributes"), his IP. After that, the provider reports your address. Nobody monitors traffic (for torrents).

No. The provider sees that there is a connection to the VPN, and also sees how much and when the traffic was pumped.
Depends on the legislation of the country - somewhere it has, somewhere it does not
Depends on the legislation of the country - somewhere it can, somewhere not. In many cases, what you download plays a very important role.
Yes
No. But then again, if you download let's say hacked versions of fresh games or movies - do not flatter yourself with VPN - who will give you a guarantee that the VPN operator itself will not leak data, for example?

1) The provider sees only the VPN connection, it does not see what passes through this connection, since everything is encrypted. However, there are analysis methods that can indirectly show what you are using in the VPN tunnel.
Technically, if you get confused, you can say that you are using a torrent. However, who needs it?
2) The provider does not need this at all, for the most part he does not care what you are doing there. And we (in Russia) do not have as such a practice of filing applications for downloading torrents. In principle, if I am not mistaken, even in countries such as Germany, where such a practice exists, it is not the telecom operator that applies, but special offices that are not connected with providers in any way.
3) Spring package + SORM, yes they store data
