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 still use it today for torrenting…if it’s from last year wouldn’t it not work anymore? I didn’t see an effective date

      I’ve noticed within the last month I’ve had to switch location server to a non-American one. I’m not seeing in that article that they keep log info now though, do you?

        No. And their website still says that they don’t keep logs, and I can find no other information indicating otherwise. If it was the case, I’d have canceled immediately.
