They recommend ProtonVPN. Does anyone know the legal ramifications of using a vpn with shared exit nodes? EG: A 'crack' squad of computer crime investigators

  Why would that be any different to getting assigned somebody's previous IP address by DHCP? It's non-incriminating because it can be demonstrated you didn't control that IP during the time illegal content was uploaded.

    True. But my general ISP dhcp'ed ip address doesn't change much AND when it does I have decent odds someone (who would do illegal uploads) wouldn't be dumb enough to do it over a non-VPNed line.

  In these cases, a request for the identity of the account associated with $IP at $timestamp would typically receive a response such as "$IP is a shared IP address used by many different accounts simultaneously. As we do not log individual sessions at layer 4, it is impossible for us to provide you with this account information."

    Literally how Private Internet Access responded to an FBI request. Not endorsing PIA in any way, though do use the services.
