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.

DMCA is an American law with American jurisdiction.

But America is the world?

Every time the spaceships come, it's defending the white house, which is the most important house on the planet.

I'm sorry, is this about Independence Day? Or the DMCA?
