Lets say you live in China and your not too happy with the govt and you saw something that the govt "allgedly" covered up.
You know your ISP monitors all of your traffic and it does so at the govt's direction so you can't post this info you know onto some public web site without getting caught by your ISP. But you do manage to get a copy of torpark from another freind who is also anti govt. You put torpark on some thumbdrive and go plug it into your computer.
You use Torpark and post your information up on to "websiteX" and the word gets out. You go hide thumbdrive far and away from PC. (no tracks)
A few weeks later the Govt "spooks" discover the info on some web site and the come to your area and confiscate everybodys computer within 2 miles of the incident. But your computer is clean... You hid the USB drive some time ago... and your ISP has no traceable records of you visiting "siteX". They will have traffic from you to the first TOR router but since that changes from router to router they don't have much. Not enough to link you to the posting on "siteX" So your off the hook.
Of course this is just an example. And its not a perfect one. But it gets the point across.

Off the hook for the crime itself. But then they would probably charge you with their equivalent of conspiracy and bad things happen anyway. -- Think outside the fox...Seamonkey
