I am not confused there are just more cases.
A lot of people are using VPN providers to download illegal content via torrents. And in case there are no logs on the servers (which most providers advertise) the copyright holder has no way of knowing who you are since they only see that the traffic is coming and going from the providers IP address.
- throwanem 10y agoThose people are in for a series of nasty surprises if copyright enforcement ever grows teeth, because whoever's providing such a VPN service with backhaul certainly has enough information to tie them to their activity.
- gog 10y agoIf they don't store logs they don't have enough information. That is the reason why a lot of companies that provide this service are incorporated in countries that don't require them to do so.
- throwanem 10y agoI can run a VPN service and not store logs. I can't prevent whoever sells me that service's bandwidth from storing logs, which they likely will do for troubleshooting purposes if nothing else.
