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 fear 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.
Very dangerous because at that point you could see trolls connecting to any network and getting it at minimum temporarily shut down due to them deciding to do illegal stuff. I imagine they wouldn’t care what damage they cause until they get arrested, too.
