Re: dmca takedown, was: Recommended VPS ISPs?

[Sven Olaf Kamphuis <sven@xxxxxxxxxx>]

or just putting the exit nodes on pi / directassignment ip ranges...

alternatively, one could simply deny all traffic and only allow the "known 
protocols" as people seeding bittorrent over tor are wasting available 
bandwidth for something that by itself isn't anonymous anyway as their 
client includes "their" "real" ip (well some do anyway ;)

or we could just sue the crap out of idiots at mediasentry and the likes 
for wasting our time, and file a few police reports on companies like 
these for uttering false aquisations... (which is what they are doing, 
repeatedly, and deliberately ;)

not to mention abusing the whois terms of use for automated spam dmca 
mails, violating various privacy and data aquisition laws, etc.

whois is a tool for providers to figure out whom to contact in case of 
network issues, not for attorneys to prove anything, as it's not an 
official, government maintained database anyway, but rather something you 
can perfectly well insert mickey mouse into if you want to. it was never 
intended to legally identify individuals, and yet this is what they 
claim in a lot of their emails...

maybe its time for a ripe proposal to shut the whole thing down and only 
make whois data available to parties that actually participate on the 
internet in terms of an AS, rather than all kinds of bullshit attorney 
firms that use it to send spam and false aquisations around the world.

soo there are 4 options

1: put the tor exit node in some pi space registered to some offshore 
company where nobody reads that crap :P

2: put the tor exit node on unregistered ip space (just "hijack" some 
unused/reserved space)

3: only allow known protocols

4: teach them a lesson about "laws" and have them prosecuted for the 
crimes mentioned above, combined with damage claims for wasting your time

or any combination of these...

if the "tor community" wants to nail them, they can, easily.
just takes a few trips to your local police office to file reports on 
these spammers (and whatnot else ;) then let your tax money handle it.
