Question on VPN's

How will this law be enacted? Would any uploading of peer-to-peer content be considered a violation even if the material is not copyrighted? I am using Verizon FIOS which seems to be one of the top companies that have enacted this. The article here simply says if they find you in violation.

This is what I'm wondering as well, and I too have FIOS as my service provider...I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Freedom Kira:
There was one guy who posted a few weeks ago asking why his seeding slowed to a crawl when he used his VPN and jumped right up to max when he disabled it.
Make sure you understand all the consequences and implications of using a service in a way that you really shouldn't. As has been mentioned already, a seedbox service is a far better choice for your money, if you want to pay for torrenting in the first place.

Huh, I thought they were pricier than that...

Keep in mind it's in pounds and not dollars, so multiply it by 1.5, but it's still not that expensive :]

I guess I am afraid of using one. I'm super paranoid that even if I DO get the attention of the feds, having a seedbox would really not be good for me. I don't know. :/
Then again, a VPN would be extremely useful for me in other cases (at least for now, since I frequently use public wi-fi) But some of you said that VPNs come with seedboxes, so I guess there's really zero downside to having one. I'd have really high upload speeds and download anonymity... but even a VPN which I considered buying is a bit too pricey for me right now. Believe it or not. :P

I may end up getting both a vpn and a seedbox eventually (read as when I get disposable income) at the moment though, I can afford only one or the other and I'm wondering which is more with my while....also, like Yui, seedbox's make me paranoid for some reason.
