He said he was using mullvad in Sweden, not north Korea where there's the death penalty for listening k-pop
In order to identify a no log VPN user someone without limits like the secret services would need to triangulate the logs of millions of other services and see something like "at 11:23:42.052 the ISP recorded that subscriber #4332822 sent a request to the IP address of the VPN server and at the same time a login to musicpirate@gmail.com is made from that VPN server"
It's very unlikely that is going to happen for something that's not even a real crime
Okay, maybe I read you wrong. I agree that nobody will try to acquire details through mullvad to prosecute this.
I read the comment like downloading music is so irrelevant, you could skip the VPN, which I would disagree with.
I once downloaded an album I had already pre-ordered, but didn't want to wait, no VPN. Got a letter from a media lawyer within the month. Felt pretty stupid.
