VPN provider bans BitTorrent after getting sued by film studios
www.bleepingcomputer.com
"No logs" VPN provider TorGuard has reached a legal settlement with over two dozen movie studios that sued the company for encouraging piracy and copyright infringement. In the settlement, TorGuard has agreed to block BitTorrent traffic for its users.

After a lengthy $10,000,000 lawsuit, TorGuard has conceded to movie studios and is now banning BitTorrent traffic and is now keeping logs on American users and servers.

    I use PIA, and so far torrents still work. It sounds like the film studios are going after smaller VPNs or VPNs that make it obvious that they’re piracy friendly.

      I’m curious as to what kind of action they could potentially take against providers that are incorporated overseas, but have servers located in the U.S.
