The authorities may well get the IP address of the VPN being used for piracy but will not to be able to attach it to any one person due to no records being kept.
But if these companies don't keep records, how do they know you are a member for the purpose of managing your subscription and access to the service? And although I understand that VPNs are supposed to work in such a way that you cannot be traced, I would not be that comfortable in convincing myself that there was no technical way my access to sites could not be traced through some technical means, particularly if the enforcers actually got into the company offices providing the service.
