How do VPN companies get away with DMCA? (lemmy.ml)

I've noticed many people promote VPNs for torrenting to evade legal troubles in some places. But I wonder how do VPN companies get away with legal complaints? Especially if their servers are located in Germany or Japan, where piracy is heavily penalized.

p.s. I have never used a VPN for piracy, and I have never received any DMCA emails.

Okay ... All of that could be true, and then some, and it still wouldn't give the DMCA any legal jurisdiction in Germany, or Mexico, or anywhere else that isn't America..

Is this thread about some moral invective? Or is it about the DMCA?

In a just world where everyone minds their own business, it would be true.

It's the fault of people who live there for not fighting for abolishment of this hellhole of a law.
