Re: Legit uses for VPN.
Slashdot just ran a story earlier about Firefox starting their own VPN (for a fee) service.* In particular, they will want people to use it when accessing some types of WiFi points. Many of those are definitely not trustable and a VPN is a must.
I treat VPN discussion like SCotUS treated vcrs in the Betamax decision. Just because there’s an infringing use doesn’t mean a total ban.
Keep in mind, people use web browser quite a bit to infringe copyrights. Try suggesting banning the discussion of web browsers because of that!
Just like TPTB wouldn’t want a thread here on duplicating and selling the new Halloween movie, someone asking questions about time-shifting a TV show or some such seem okay.
VPNs: “Let’s be careful out there.”
