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.

    Most can detect traffic. Content itself, I do t know. Certainly some can.

    Probably will remove you. Ban you. And pass on any data they may have to authorities.

    It’s the main reason I don’t do it. Even if it’s extremely unlikely.

    That’s what my homelab is for. But even then, it has its own problems.
