I don't see how paying for VPN or Usenet helps.

First, you are basically replacing the ISP with the VPN / Usenet provider -- your entire traffic goes through them! If the ISP has to follow some given law, what makes you think the VPN/Usenet company will be above it?

Second, using Usenet to pirate, for example, is even worse than doing it from home. You leave a credit card trail and you have a specific user/password to access the service. So if your user copies something, there's a slim chance it was the neighbor using your free WiFi.

Speaking of NewsgroupDirect it seems to me very expensive. 1000GB (~1TB) isn't $40, it's $100. And the monthly plans are also expensive. I guess it has US prices but I'm paying here about $20/month for a 12MB net/phone/TV package.
