If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don't find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name. Reply the reason to it. This make it easier to understand the real life user cases.

P.S: I am only looking for paid VPNs please don't mention "free vpn".

I think of it like having sex with or without a condom. If you don't use a condom, there's a chance to get an STD (or get "caught"). It's not a guarantee to get caught, your IP address needs to end up in the pool of addresses they collect to send out DMCA notices so it won't happen every time. But having a "condom" (VPN) reduces your chances by nearly 100%, assuming it's properly setup which usually is a very simple process
