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.

    And America controls all of the fucking Internet. Especially all main social networks and search engines.

    Americans, especially after 9/11 happened, feel entitled to catch criminals (or at least what they deem so) all around the world and beyond.

      Okay … All of that could be true, and then some, and it still wouldn’t give the DMCA any legal jurisdiction in Germany, or Mexico, or anywhere else that isn’t America…

      Is this thread about some moral invective? Or is it about the DMCA?
