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.

    Yeah that’s basically my view as well. I don’t take issue with posting “old news”, so long as it’s presented as such. This is good for people to know, especially TorGuard users who are unaware, but the lens people use to understand a story changes depending on whether they think it’s a new development or an old fact, so some distinction is good
