>VPNs aren't a defense against subpoenas or warrants

They absolutely are for a huge number of people. Why do you think so many VPN's advertise the fact that they don't keep logs? I imagine far (_far_) more people use VPN services as a way to evade copyright holders than as a mechanism to avoid marketers (most people don't give two craps about the latter issue.)

BTW, was the snarky bit at the end really necessary?
