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.

I actually live in the US. And New Zealand is not a third world country.

We don't know if you may be too stupid to have good reading comprehension, but here you go.

Show us where in there it says any North American country? We'll wait.
