I think the point they're getting at Is that you can't use a self-hosted vpn to hide your piracy activity because the link is registered to yourself.

Yes, but this thread is about security while using public Wi-Fi, which the original comment was saying doesn't require commercial VPNs.

And I highly doubt people are pirating while on public wi-fi, the bandwidth just isn't good enough, and even if it was, it would be a dick move to other public wi-fi users.
