I guess you’re right partially, but if you’re renting a VPS in a country that doesn’t respect those copyright laws, your VPS provider can’t be asked to bother you.

Cool idea, I almost forgot this feature even exists. I think I dismissed it the past when I realized it’s probably not going to be easy to switch VPN servers this way.
It does hurt, your VPN should support proper port-forwarding for soulseek to work well. In most cases, you will only be able to download files, but your shares will be inaccessible. It doesn’t seem to work with ProtonVPN for example, even when you built-in port-forwarding feature. And even if it did work, you would need to reconfigure and restart soulseek every time you reconnect the VPN, because their port-forwarding is randomizing the ports and there’s no way to turn that off.
For the most common scenarios I personally find CLI very easy to use: I go to the destination folder, right-click “Open in Terminal” and then type yt-dlp linkcopypastedhere
. That’s all, multiple sites I used it with didn’t require any extra params. Maybe if you want to customize something, like make your own file naming convention, etc, GUI could be handy.
I think the easiest way to do this is to download pirate version of game even if you have it in Steam or wherever, because pirated version is by design will be a standalone installer that works without any kind of platform originally used for game’s distribution. If there is no pirate version, if this is some lesser known indie game from itch, perhaps even a free one, that comes as an archive with exectutable. And you want to spice things up still, by creating installer with art or whatever, you might look into installer creation tools like innosetup for example.
