How do VPN companies get away with DMCA? (lemmy.ml)

I've noticed many people promote VPNs for torrenting to evade legal troubles in some places. But I wonder how do VPN companies get away with legal complaints? Especially if their servers are located in Germany or Japan, where piracy is heavily penalized.

p.s. I have never used a VPN for piracy, and I have never received any DMCA emails.

Just use mullvad. Pay for it with Monero if you're super paranoid.

I'm completely okay with that but you can find cheaper alternatives if you just want to do torrenting stuff, do not need this extra level of privacy

Mullvad semi recently closed it's port forwarding service. Afaik AirVpn is (one of) the only ones remaining that allows you to expose ports through there service
