Is it though? The thing about torrenting afaik is, that you’re not downloading only but also uploading. The latter is the illegal part, even if you own a legal copy.
I think downloading is also illegal since you’re creating an illegal copy on your computer although distribution of copyrighted material is more serious.
Although, you could copy the CD instead legally in many cases.
Just torrent it. It’s actually pretty legal in that case

It’s been a while since I torrented, but IIRC you can throttle the uploading part.

Downloading isn’t illegal. Just distribution
That might also differ by location.
