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.
Set up full disk encryption or an encrypted container like gocryptfs. But typically they analyze network traffic not IO traffic because that’s quite a pain to implement as they’d have to reimplement the entire filesystem just to analyze what you store.
