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.
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.
