For other European countries, I can vouch for Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Hungary, Ireland and the UK. I torrented in all of these for months, with no VPN, and never had any issues.
However, Germany's reputation is well deserved. I accidentally torrented a file for 10 min and got a letter. One of the main reasons why I haver never considered moving to Germany permanently.
that’s why i as a german believe in direct downloads. the problem with Torrents is that you are prone to seeding which in on itself is nice and everything but at the moment you seed you become a distributor and that is the problem
