Mostly for western developed countries where you will get fucked up by the government for pirating. ISP’s in US Canada and UK will sue normal middle class people for torrenting, unless you mask your IP with the correct VPN.
I might have used the wrong word. I think the term is binding a VPN to a torrenting application so that all data going in andd out of pass thru the vpns servers
Canada limits the amount that a company can sue for downloading pirated media to the point where it’s not worth it for the company to actually take it to court. The company can ask the ISP to send an email to try to scare the user, but that’s about it.
Fines. And say you seeded a movie to 1000 people and a DVD of the movie costs $20, they sue you for $20000, treating it like you broke into a warehouse and stole 1000 DVDs of the movie.
Torrenting is the way to go. Especially with VPN port forwarding now.
Why is VPN port forwarding relevant here?

But isn’t that how VPNs work, binding the network interface connected to it to the applications?

Been getting those emails for 10+ years, I just laugh and keep seeding.
this is great news
Shit they do that? Man that sucks. People go to jail? Or have to pay fines?

Seems like some VPNs are pulling back from port forwarding. Was a bummer that Mullvad did, probably due to legal pressure
