Fair call but the problem there of course is how do the laws work in that
country, is the onus on the owner of the account insofar as having to prove
their login details were stolen or is saying they didn't post it enough, aka
the onus in on the prosecution to prove you did? How far will the
authorities go, will they confiscate all your computer gear...meaning do you
have to delete all your modem/router logs, posting logs and computer logs
after every post? Simply choosing the right NSP in the right country negates
all this and means you don't need a VPN, like I said, VPN is useless for
Usenet (country laws depending).
