Torrent sites using VPN to dodge Three Strikes law.

Hahaha! I love how they use “Metallica” as an example in their explanation of their privacy protection here: http://mute-net.sourceforge.net/howPrivacy.shtml

Idiots… that’s going to put Canadians under more scrutiny than it already has. Keep out!!! It’s going to nail us as well.
