I am surprised about the high quality taste other people have who share this VPN. Csikszentmihalyi, Ebook Libraries, Stephen Merchant - proud of my fellow anonymists.
proud of my fellow anonymists Except, of course, that they didn't pay the authors for any of that high-quality content you like so much.

> They could sell this information to MPAA and RIAA for gold. Maybe in the US, but in many other countries they would be breaking several privacy laws. In fact, even the collecting the initial minimal information (IP's + downloads) already breaks privacy laws in most of Europe. Commercially, this information has no value.
The lack of seriousness on the site greatly compromises the value of the data. As a captcha they they ask you enter the entire text of the USA Constitution, and give a mailing address in Antarctica. There is no evidence that large portions of the data isn't made up, no sane company would want to touch this.

Amazon has no reason to be lenient here, especially given how ICE (DHS) has been handling copyright infringement... That's a…
Presumably my business would use an account under the business name.
