There are providers who are OK with public trackers and don't care about DMCAs.
In principle, torrenting over IPv6 is the same as doing it over IPv4, it's just that there's a lot of IPv6 addresses so you might find it cheaper to buy IPv6. Yes there are some differences in the technology but from purely an operational POV, it's not very different.
The reason I mentioned bringing your own IPs is related to the reason why providers don't like public torrents: it pollutes their IP space and puts their IP ranges on blacklists. But if you bring your own IPs, suddenly the provider (in theory) is safe and doesn't care as much. YMMV of course, send an email to your provider of choice to ask more.
bring your own IP? Don't you need to register as someone with a node and do BGP routing protocols (forgot the specific terms for the objects)
Which is why not every provider supports BYOIP
