I couldn't find anything in the CLI, at least from that gif.
Someone who is new or less "experienced" in this might not be aware that they need to use a VPN or similar, since the CLI makes it so easy to search and download. Even you are an experienced user, you may misread and start torrenting by mistake before connecting to VPN.
One could argue this is a serious bug.
This is an important caveat to raise for someone experimenting.
To your point, it's the upload that gets you in trouble in the US (assuming possession is not illegal in itself)
