NordVPN do logs and you will get caught if you do crimes using their services. It happened before during the Dutch KPN blackmail case and it will happen again. Everyone at BalCCon was warned about this a few years ago.

Every service does this. Either that or they're the next Pirate Bay: a service blocked under copyright law without violating copyright, they only linked to places that were happy to infringe copyright (specific torrent peers). Domains were expropriated, IP addresses blocked, ISPs coerced into replacing DNS entries... If I remember correctly, the founders also all have interesting stories about the legacy this carried for them personally when trying to do business later.

Until a VPN service gets that kind of status, you can assume they either follow local laws or haven't gotten a request for data logging for anything bad enough yet (realize that this doesn't have to be even close to murder-for-hire: being complicit in other people sharing movies between them reaches that "bad enough" bar).

Wouldn't that make the product illegal in Europe unless they disclosed it? Or is this some secret SIGINT thing?
