I liked the following quote from the linked article;
I think I can say that the same attitude exists at IAPS, it's in the TOS.
In and of itself, desiring to mitigate unreasonable monitoring and control, invasive and potentially computer wrecking web sites and adverts, or making clean and clear connections home when one is abroad is not a crime.
Unfortunately, miscreants and criminals will be with us for some time yet since some people just take longer to grow up than others.
But the internet is growing up too and there are some links in posts on this board that lead to articles showing the advances being made against on-line crime. Don't expect to hear about the advances fully beacause just as in real society, virtual societies abhor ignorance and criminality just as much.
Many world leaders imho foment a class of criminal unto themselves and it is a twisted example they set for everyone else. Fortunately we don't have to follow their lead but unfortunately many think they can and do.
What's that saying about self restraint?

Pure VPN recently updated their terms and conditions as well and they read as:
PureVPN.com hereby states that, no accounts would be offered to clients residing in African nations except South Africa. This step had to be taken in awake of increasing complaints on fraudulent activities originating from Nigeria. However, PureVPN.com reserves its right to allow any one as an exception to get an account, on receipt of government Issued IDs or Land line phone. We will immediately terminate the account of those who would try to bypass checks. All fraudulent activities may be reported to the respective police and related law enforcement authorities.
In order to serve our legitimate customers, like yourself, with a VPN network that is free from troubles/downtime we have employed a stringent Anti-Fraud Policy. If our anti-fraud system rates your transaction as a 'potential risk', you will be requested to go through a verification process. The mere purpose of asking for such verification is the fact that we need to keep fraudsters away and because we believe you are a genuine customer you will have no issues in choosing from one of the options offered to you e.g. Send us a blank email from non-free email address, Send us any NON-CONFIDENTIAL Document etc.

Hmmm... Something certainly seems to be brewing in the VPN business.
Please, I ask for your indulgence in a paraphrase...
"...somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of criminal VPN users. Now, you may know somebody listed in that situation, or you may be in a similar list situation, and if you're in a similar list situation like that then there's only one thing you can do, and that's contact your rep and say, "Rep, You can get a VPN free from fraud and abuse". And walk out.
You know, if just one person/company, just one person/company does it they may think they're really sick and no one would subscribe. And if two people/companies, two people/companies do it, together, they may think they're both perverted and no one would subscribe to either of them. And if three people/companies did it, three, can you imagine three people/companies dedicated to stopping VPN fraud and abuse, they may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty, I said fifty people/companies dedicated to stopping VPN fraud and abuse contacting their reps talking about clean VPN's, my friends they may think it's a movement.
And that's what it is, The Clean VPN Movement and all you got to do to join is subscribe."
Your govt. may not like it but when did they ever like anything anyone does?

In a perfect world, maybe. In this world, it won't happen. There are too many vpn companies that do not wish to cooperate with each other and many of them just want to do their own thing.

some vpn company will use this as a mean to win over customers,I saw one encouraging customers to use proxies along with their vpn others claim they encrypt customers ID.
Thats an oldy but a goldie Blue2th

Talking about here law is?
VPN server is a law of the country,
The VPN service provider laws of the country,
VPN service users or laws of the country?
If the VPN service users include law of the country, it would be very sad, living innon-democratic state!
Slowly and slowly I start to understand that a VPN does not give you 'real' privacy. It only gives you no-logging. In the end, when they are after you: you will be caught.
Most interesting from the article, I thought, was:
"This includes certain hardcore privacy services which claim you will never be identified, these types of services that do not cooperate are more likely to have their entire VPN network monitored and tapped by law enforcement, thus affecting all legitimate customers."
And like I learned on this forum: one can easily bypass a warrant for the VPN by just going to the datacenters themselves. Privacy is a tricky thing, to say the least :s
Almost impossible since everything started getting digitized decades ago if you ask me.
I'd say that the biggest support for privacy is trust. But that's another subject for another thread since all world leaders have shattered that trust.
