Vandaag heb ik een mail ontvangen van mijn VPN provider met als titel: Notice of Copyright Infringement. Een paar dagen eerder had ik via de VPN provider ingelogd op Amerikaanse Server en een film op Popcorntime gekeken. Nog geen 3 dagen later stuurde een Amerikaanse advocaat van Paramount mijn VPN provider een mail met een duidelijk waarschuwing over mogelijke juridische gevolgen. Daarop heeft de VPN provider mijn account geblokkeerd. Het zweet brak me toch even uit. Ik vraag me dus af of VPN echt wel zo veilig is men denkt. Hoe denken jullie erover? Zie hieronder het mailtje.
