Questionable if this is only about movies, and not about any Bittorrent traffic.

    It’s probably a map of where VPN servers are located mixed with countries that don’t persue copyright violations. And not necessarily where the users are located.

      Are VPNs seriously that prevalent? In Australia, most internet providers aren’t also owned by media companies. So many have clearly stated policies that they will not pass your information on. Mine does, so I don’t bother with a VPN, there’s no reason too.

      I know this is very much a tangent but honestly VPNs feel like a massive scam that everyone in the piracy community at large keeps perpetuating. Like, I’m pirating more content than I ever have because of subscription services, so I’m not gonna sign up for the extra special piracy subscription just because? And if I actually want privacy and anonymity while browsing I would, and do, just use tor.
