Would you be able to elaborate on these issues?

Nope, it isn't necessary. It just helps with peering, and the actual download will start faster.

Every single time something seems to claim to be untraceable or anonymous, it seems to hold for a while, and then there's a "<X> is not as safe as we thought" headline.
Seems to be a good rule to just not trust anything.

My subnet is blocked, but I'm going through my VPS...
Apparently the subnet I'm on has been blocked for bulk downloading.

Pretty much. Perhaps billing per minute if you're going to stay for longer than an hour, or per item if you're staying for less. Though that seems overly complex and a logistical nightmare.

There's a place I often visit in Shoreditch called Ziferblat[0], and I think that they have something of a solution to this (they have other places too).
Essentially, you are charged for your time and everything else is free. Presently I think it's about 7p per minute for the first hour, and then 4p a minute afterwards - there's also a cap.
While in there, coffee, snacks, etc, are all "free".
Perhaps this sort of model could work? Obviously if you're not willing to kick out all the remote workers. I guess this turns it into more of a coworking space though.

If it helps, I didn't actually exist at the time

Seconded. I'm almost certain they are, or at least, they're pretty damn hard to stop.

I was about to comment exactly that.
