Really, i'm not looking for a fight, but it seems to me like you're the judge, jury and executioner... And you hold everybody against the law of your own country, no? Not all countrys have the same legislation, not all copyright holders claims are equally valid and well founded either....

I think it is a form of censorship to try to close a VPN service provider because most of the scammers use a VPN... I personally like a VPN that clearly state they will not keep logs.
In Belgium, they started the "great belgian firewall" to combat CP... Nobody knows which sites are on there, but apparently they currently use the firewall to blacklist gambling sites, filehosts,..... Maybe next year they'll start blocking the website of one of the right-wing political parties.... The fight against VPN providers is different, but in many points exactly the same as putting up a firewall: it's plain old cencorship.
Instead of putting up a firewall, they'd better spend a lot more money in tracking down producers and consumers of CP, and cut their nuts off in public...

I think the uploader of illegal data should be attacked, and if a filelocker, torrent site or VPN does something illegal, the owner should be tried in a court in his or her country of residence, according to the laws of that country... If they are acquited by a judge, i think we are not in the position to harass them any longer... If they are sentences, they are already being punished....
