I suppose the question is 'how far are you prepared to push the
now-existing laws and technology that defeats them'?

Freenet, Tor, nym.alias.net ... intellectual curiosity has always kept

Anyone who looks at current bittorrent trackers will see
xyzzy.onion.web2tor.net tracker addresses. Lord Mandelson in the UK says
"persistent filesharers" will be cut of in 2011. I disagree; copyright
