When I first starting using Tor in the mid aughts, I was using it to download movies and music. I remember talking with a security friend and he was like, "Bruh, what are you doing? That's not what Tor is for." and then launched into a 20 min rant about why I was misusing Tor and affecting other people using the service by what I was doing.

It was a good lesson and helped me realize what Tor should really be used for.

It's likely that downloading music and movies is actually helpful for those using TOR to "avoid death" - because it provides more cover and traffic.
