Good call from the part of VPN company.
IMO, it was a good move from the side of VPN company if they were obliged to act due to any court order. There's one less criminal in the street. It's not necessary that if they kept logs of one person, they would keep of others too. So, it's just a hype people are creating instead of seeing the bigger picture. Additionally, they have clear log policy on abusive use of the service. People should read privacy policy first no matter what service they use. Such services are not for using in such activities.
