if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn’t be held accountable. thoughts?

If you use a VPN, it doesn’t matter if you use your home network or public wifi… At that point if they track you down to your VPN account, if either you provided personal information, or you used identifiable payment, you could be tracked down. Only difference is, if your VPN keeps certain information, you could be tracked down to the network you connected from, where the public wifi would offer some protection.
VPNs aren’t a magic solution to guarantee privacy, they’re a tool with multiple uses, but using one could decrease your privacy in certain cases.
