Do we really need a VPN?

[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 849394, member: 72439"] Yeah, my employer briefed us that we should never download/stream/torrent music or movies from many sources in certain countries, especially Germany --- or risk fines. But how does that work? Usually an ISP would turn over that sort of information that would lead to the perpetrator. If one is in a hotel room in Germany using their wifi.... how would they know it's 'you' without getting into your computer? And yeah, use a VPN, got it. I was in a hotel once where every single person had a different logon/password to get into the wifi. Certainly that could create a trail. But I've only seen that one time. [/QUOTE]
