You do not need a seedbox nor a VPN. It is advised to use some VPN if your ISP is hostile to pirating, but in a lot of countries that's not the case. Seedboxes are only necessary if you're on a private tracker with strict demands, but even then content has a way with leaking out of those communities onto public trackers.
I'm in one of the counties where it's impossible without a VPN because there's a big industry making money by suing people for copyright violations. But you're right, in many countries nobody really cares.
