   Status:  new               |    Priority:  critical        
Milestone:                    |   Component:  Tor - Tor client

 Long story short, I got a letter from Time Warner/ Road Runner (they are
 merged in my area, not sure if that's true everywhere) Saying that they
 were going to disconnect me. I call them up to say wtf, because at this
 point they had already blocked my service. They said someone using an IP
 that I also use through Tor has been sending spam email and they are
 banning everyone who uses that IP unless they will stop using the service,
 and agree to run an AV suite to prove it's not their machine. I've
 deactivated Tor in the meantime, but I want my privacy back. What can I
 do???

 also but less critical, image sharing sites such as 4-chan and photobucket
 wont let me log in through Tor because the IP's on the network are flagged
 for ppl uploading pedo-bear materials. I don't want to break the law, I
 just want to surf from a secured connection. = / Please advise, I don't
 want to stop using your wonderful service!

 Many thanks to the whole Tor team!!!!!!
