How do VPN companies get away with DMCA? (lemmy.ml)

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.

If you are just torrenting and using it for downloading some stuff and nothing more, use the cheapest as NordVPN or Cyber ghost these are good for this, BUT NOT FROM A PRIVACY POINT OF VIEW

How's Proton for privacy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Pretty good. They don't log and I don't think there's been a case where they've released info on anybody.

Proton is great but you don't really need privacy when torrenting
