Is it save to use identifying information (credit card, PayPal) for paying a Usenet provider? I’m especially interested in thecubenet.com and easynews. Have there been any incidents where someone got into trouble for downloading copyright protected content from a provider?

Also should I use a VPN for downloading even when SSL is enabled?

Thanks in advance :)

    I’m testing frugal right know and ist working fine but it seems to miss some content. So I took a look at the promotions page on r/Usenet and these two providers would be really cheap while being on different backbones. But I’m probably going to be alright with the yearly frugal subscription with the block account added
