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 feel like that's a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott's video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy
