| Re: Whatever Not true. You do know the EFF is a legit digital rights outfit, yes? P2P is clearly stated as a violation of the service.
The primary concept was to create a distribution method for researchers concerned about backlash to publish findings, not to create a distribution channel for the Metallica discography.... | |

Houston, TX | Re: Whatever The reality is actually not even that good; the "research" going on in tor consists apparently mostly of DDoS attacks, phishing, and blog-spamming.
Many hosts block any inbound IP connections from published TOR exit points. | |

| said by Minister  :Not true. You do know the EFF is a legit digital rights outfit, yes? P2P is clearly stated as a violation of the service. That's kind of ironic, isn't it? The EFF is one of the biggest defenders of P2P, but they don't want it on their network. 
I think the EFF does some good work, but they end up taking a lot of really bad stances. They're kind of like the ACLU of the computer world. | |

Either their network performance suffers, or they crack down on the very P2P file-trading they've in a round-about way been legally protecting.... | |
