I’ve noticed many people promote VPNs for torrenting to evade legal troubles in some places. But I wonder how do VPN companies get away with legal complaints? Especially if their servers are located in Germany or Japan, where piracy is heavily penalized.

p.s. I have never used a VPN for piracy, and I have never received any DMCA emails.

    ISPs turn off connectivity out of feat from lawsuits. Cox is contesting this, saying it’s too much of a burden (which it is) for both them and customers to turn off internet.

    Its also fucking dangerous to do that in this day and age.
