Safe from who? ISPs? Copyright trolls? State law enforcement? Different problems may have different solutions.
People are often safe pirating without a VPN either because of ‘safety in numbers’ (essentially just obscurity) or by living in a region that doesn’t care much about it. But as a distributor, I would assume there is a higher risk if you’re distributing something that will make copyright owners seek a take down.
Further, what is the reason you’re open to onion routing and I2P but not VPNs?
I doubt that, it sounds like a violation of safe harbor (similar to ISPs and hosting sites not getting in trouble unless they are made aware and fail to act) which is admittedly a gray area. Got a source?

Youll probably just have yourISP show a page that says acknowledge you downloaded the file and promise not to do it again. If you dont use your isps DNS server youll never even know they did it. You won’t get anything against you past that unless you’re a huge distributor.
Also what is it you’re trying to share? If its all pirated media, I wouldn’t even bother because its all probably already available somewhere in some form.
Thanks.
An interesting post linked in that thread (note: from 2014. I have no idea how they responded to this): https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-December/007999.html
I like the I2P project (despite not using it) and according to the official site “there are several bittorrent clients and trackers on I2P.” I’m sure they’d love you for it! Like you said, slow, but how much of the library do you expect the average user to download? A few MB? A couple of GB? Is the library a cohesive whole that needs to be one piece, or can you request people redistribute your library or its pieces onto the clearweb?
I see something mentioned about BiglyBT’s bridging (aka Network Mixing [github wiki link]), which allows I2P users to download clearnet torrents so long as a bridging user is seeding. I wonder if it works in the other direction: a BiglyBT seeder allowing clearnet users to download and I2P torrent. Maybe not.
