The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.

    If you are in US probably any latin country except Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama should be OK.

      Why do people keep saying that Puerto Rico is a country?!

      Third time this year.

          That’s not a strong argument to call Puerto Rico a country.

          That’s like saying that Japan and Okinawa are two countries.

          Edit: downvoted by geography dufuses.

          Edit 2: whoops. Doofuses.

            It’s doofus.

            I think many people feel like Puerto Rico is its own country due to how it is treated by the US.

      Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?

        They are strongly aligned with US, and this kind of countries are usually more aggressive against piracy.
