Why happen if I store pirated content inside my VPS? I think the answer is pretty obvious, in their TOS should say that if I do that they will BAN me without warning, but can they detect the files? Or worse, what if I download directly into the VPS with torrent or Jdownloader?
From what I understand (and based on USA laws) only if I torrent something they can BAN me, because I’m redistributing something with copyright in their servers, and I don’t only refer to games, this can apply to music, movies, etc.
Rly? How do you do business in the US? How do (small) companies rent webservers that process credit card information of their clients? How do they store sensitive data? Like data you’re contractually obliged not to tell anyone. Where do you sync private data from your phone?
I know technically, you can snoop at data if you’re the host and the server is right there with you. But surely that has to be illegal?
You work with a provider that is SOC 2 compliant, meaning while they have the ability to access your information, they can only do it in a way that is controllable and auditable by the provider.
No idea. Maybe hosts typically follow a policy of not snooping in stored files without a ticket requesting or authorizing it implicitly or explicitly. At least that would make sense to me.
