Overgeneralization much?!

While it may be true for some people, or even for some classes of users, 
it is certainly NOT proof of guilt.

Quite a few of us have/use VPNs for entirely legitimate purposes such as 
backups and trunking genuine traffic between sites (eg, offices).

A lot of others use VPNs as indicated already to perfectly legitimately 
access content LEGALLY PURCHASED (or licensed) from vendors (typically 
internationally but need not always be).

YOU may be a p!rate, and admit that YOUR use of a VPN equates to piracy, 
but DON'T lump the rest of us in that category.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem!
