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.

All the same, didn't seem to help Kim Dotcom or the many others that are operating pirate sites outside of America when American companies bitch about copyrights
