A more general case is for legal and SLAs. If a company uses one of these vpns to make sure their traffic only travels through a specific legal path, and then it's found that their traffic entered a different territory, there can be a lot of consequences.

The case I can think of most accessible would be anything that streams copywriten video.



I've wondered about jurisdiction in copyright for a while -- if I access a USA website from a Swedish server, make a copy on that server, then stream it to a French location for viewing all the while being in UK. Where has any crime/infringement occurred; which courts have jurisdiction?

Anyone know of any caselaw addressing these issues.
