Shady? I only use VPNs from known companies, like Sony.

A VPN either:

Logs access/usage so it can be given to authorities. (And/or sold/stolen etc)
doesn't log usage data and willingly accepts that some disgusting stuff will be done using their service.

1 might have to give browsing data if sued by a media company, 2 is ethnically bankrupt and shouldn't be trusted at all.

Doesn't mean their not useful, just be aware of who you are giving your money to and the limitations of their protection.
