thanks.  i checked that out.  i took the first step of directly
contacting my ISP (Qwest) and mentioned my reasons for running the exit
router, as well as links to the documents mentioned in the first step.
below is the representative's response.  although it is riddled with
misconceptions, the part referring to section 7 of the service agreement
seems relevant.  suggestions?


Dmca violations are treated seriously by Qwest and if they continue you
will lose your DSL service.
You mentioned you were operating a "Tor exit router" which normally is
used for the purpose of
hiding ip addresses. If you are allowing people on the internet to hide
their ip addresses by routing
through your DSL  "Tor exit router", then you are violating your DSL
service agreement with Qwest.
You can find the Qwest DSL service agreement at
http://www.qwest.com/legal/highspeedinternetsubscriberagreement.
Under "7. Service Conditions" it state that your residential DSL service
is only for the use of your  pcs
within your home. You cannot allow others, outside your house,  to use
it for the purpose of hiding their ip addresses.
You also are responsible for any harmful or illegal traffic that comes
from your DSL modem. The fact that
your "Tor service" is a configured to block the most common ports
associated with abuse does not release
you from this responsibility. If you are charging money for the use of
the "Tor service" then you are violating the terms of both your
residential phone service and your residential DSL service with Qwest
as you are not allowed to use either for running a business.
