"No logs" VPN provider TorGuard has reached a legal settlement with over two dozen movie studios that sued the company for encouraging piracy and copyright infringement. In the settlement, TorGuard has agreed to block BitTorrent traffic for its users.

After a lengthy $10,000,000 lawsuit, TorGuard has conceded to movie studios and is now banning BitTorrent traffic and is now keeping logs on American users and servers.

    Hmm. I enjoy those things. They’re entertaining, expand on the things I like, and I can watch with my entire family.

    I like other stuff too, but I want to be entertained by fantastical BS that takes me away from the shitty things in everyday life.

      And that’s fine, I’m just sad how that type of content has significantly marginalised original films and shows.
