A google search will give you a nice list of VPN providers that won't block/limit p2p connections...

I'm not sure if i understand what you're trying to say here.

You hear that? All that hentai is costing Americans jobs!

So, if said piracy did not exist, 373000 more people would be employed? To do what exactly?
Sorry, companies don't hire people just for fun. Those "lost earnings" would probably just expand the pockets of the people on top of the food chain. Excuse me for not crying.

Yeah? Shaw disagrees, apparently. Or maybe I'm just not downloading anything that fits the criteria.

Basically, the moment something is created, it is copyrighted to the creator. Whether it's something you say aloud to someone else, graffiti you paint on a wall, or a post you make on a forum, no one has the right to make an exact copy of it without giving you full credit.

So, why say a film in particular is copyrighted? Everything is. It's like saying this website is on the Internet. Well, inform me of a website that isn't.

Point is, when you surf the web, your computer makes a temporary local copy of every page you visit. Only difference here is that the copy is deleted once you leave the page or close your browser, depending on the browser, so the creators don't particularly care.

I was reading SwissVPN's general terms and conditions and it really seems like they don't try to protect their clients at all.



--- Quote ---2. Obligations of the Client
General
In particular, the Client must ensure that the internet access is used
in accordance with current legislation and existing contracts (esp.
Clause 5) and that the payments for services subscribed to (see
Clauses 3 and 4) are made on time.

. . . skip . . .

5. Information content; correct legal and
contractual use; misuse
Information content
The Client is responsible for the content of the information (data,
language in any form) transmitted or processed by Monzoon or made
available by the Client to third parties. Monzoon is not responsible for
these data nor for any information that the Client receives via the
internet network or which third parties distribute or make available via
internet networks.
Correct legal and contractual use
The Client is responsible for ensuring that the internet access is used
in accordance with current legislation and existing contracts. The
Client may not use the internet access to disturb or annoy (e.g.
spamming) third parties, nor to prevent the correct functioning of
another network access, nor for any other, illegal, purpose. Illegal
purposes include the transmission or provision of illegal content, as
well as advertising campaigns or messages where the sender knows
(or must be aware) that the recipient does not wish to receive
promotional calls or messages.
Usage of Monzoon Services Through Third Parties
A direct or secondary use of Monzoon services through third parties
is prohibited without explicit written permission from Monzoon
Networks. In particular, it is prohibited to give or share user names or
passwords, or in any other way allow or enable unallowed third party
use.
Measures against misuse
If there is evidence of illegal use of an internet access, if such misuse
is reported by a competent authority, or if a legal ruling decrees a
misuse, Monzoon can demand that the Client’s access be in
compliance with current legislation and existing contracts, may
discontinue the services provided without prior notice or
indemnification, cancel the contract without notice or indemnification
and if necessary seek compensation. Monzoon can effect the same
measures if it has grounds for assuming that the Client is violating or
will violate the contract, or that they provided incorrect or incomplete
details when taking out the contract. If Monzoon cancels the contract
for any of these reasons, the Client shall be liable for the payment of
any outstanding amounts in accordance with the contractual
conditions governing the early termination of the contract.
