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.

I don’t mind too much, I didn’t know TorGuard was blocking that traffic or logging American users but now I do. So I appreciate the article in that regard but the post should’ve been titled like “Reminder that TorGuard tracks American users” or something rather than being presented as new info imo.
Yeah that’s basically my view as well. I don’t take issue with posting “old news”, so long as it’s presented as such. This is good for people to know, especially TorGuard users who are unaware, but the lens people use to understand a story changes depending on whether they think it’s a new development or an old fact, so some distinction is good
They are not logging American users; they disabled Bittorrent traffic for any user connected to a US server.
Interesting, thanks for the additional info!
