VPN service provider TorGuard recently reached an agreement with several Hollywood movie studios, focused on preventing piracy on their platform – and also to avoid serious legal problems.
The VPN platform has agreed to block BitTorrent access to its services as a way to prevent users from using the VPN platform to hide piracy activities.
Remember that this case dates back to last year, when 24 movie studios sued TorGuard for allegedly facilitating piracy by covering up malicious activities on its platform through the use of BitTorrent technologies.
One of the reasons that led to these processes was the various publications on how the company would facilitate users’ access to pirated content, including the publication of how to use TorGuard on the most used Bittorrent programs on the market.
According to court documents responsible for the case, both TorGuard and the studios will have now reached a conclusion, and the VPN platform will from now on block all BitTorrent content on it.
It is important to note that movie studios have been focusing considerably on VPN service providers as a means of propagating piracy. Most cases point out how these platforms facilitate the propagation of content protected by copyright – and in some cases, as was the example of TorGuard, they considerably facilitate this use or propagate means of how to do it.
