When I used to download torrents, I never would seed them back, harder to be caught. That, and Peerblock.
All VPN keep logs. They have to protect against illegal activity. Just because you get no warning for torrenting does not mean that they are not logging you.
Not if you run your own and disable logging. There's also purveyors on cybercrime forums that do indeed offer logless VPN services because it's also in their best interest. These are usually safer than commercially available ones as well.All VPN keep logs.
I am sorry but you are wrong. You are getting into a greyarea with torrenting, some may say that they are simply torrenting their own stuff but no doubt piracy rules in that world. TOS don't mean a single thing. You should learn more on how things really are and how they work.That's wrong.. Should read some TOS sometime.
Wrong. Downloading gets you busted too. Peerblock also has the tendency to block good peers too. The blocklist I posted on page 2 is better.When I used to download torrents, I never would seed them back, harder to be caught. That, and Peerblock.
It's not spying if you tell them you're pirating. Hence peer too peer.

And if you can't do that then think about the cheap price of a VPN service. They have to protect themselves!
Those are indeed true and valid points but no normal and average user of torrents and the internet should mess with those things, especially the second option.Not if you run your own and disable logging.

Thing is, it is true. They openly say that no logs are stored but indeed they are. They don't have to be out of business, they only use the logs on important cases and there find a way to not get their name mentioned.If only this were true. Then half these no log VPN providers would be out of business for false advertising.
Only trust scene releases. NFO and SFV files do serve a purpose other than showing off ANSI skills; file verification. If the release fails to match the hash in these files then you know it's been tampered with or at least modified.Never got in trouble in the past, *shrug* I don't trust torrents anymore, too risky for viruses and malware.

I apologize if you find my posts too harsh or completely BS but I have witnessed and heard from very reputable and respectable persons into VPNs whose words can be trusted (at least for me, and I do know that this post will get quoted and laughed with "lol heard from very reputable and .... and he calls that a argument") that logs are stored.All you can do is take them at their word. Many VPNs have had requests to hand over logs by local governments and had nothing to hand over. At this time you're spouting a bunch of fearmongering BS with nothing to back up your claims.
best way not to do it the other way is to use a VPNHa, this just happened to me as well. Three strikes and they took away my internet. Except it wasn't my internet... it's my parents. Needless to say they were pissed and now I've been wondering how to get around this happening again.

Even if the VPN relinquishes logs to government agencies and anti-piracy organizations?
