So most people who use VPN tunnels do so to steal?
I like the old days when you could just share information without violating laws. Now things are so complex you have to make sure your not breaking a law before you do something.

Who knows even You Tube content may violate the law???

What a head ache for both sides.

the DMCA makes things even more complex in that acts that are legal are also illegal at the same time.

the DMCA is basicly like if you had a speed limiter on your car set to 45, but the speed limit is 65, however there is a law that makes it illegal to disable or remove the limiter, so going 65 is legal but altering the car to do so is illegal.

in DMCA terms this is fair use copies of DRM'd media, the fair use copy is legal, the breaking the encryption to create the copy is technically illegal.
