Please, s/TOR/Tor/ ;-) Also, there is an interesting point regarding blocking Tor in Russia legally. As far as I understand, some entity representing tor network should get an official letter from Russian government regarding providing services to Russian users and requirement to implement filtering in the network. As far as I understand (I'm not a lawyer), it's impossible to ban the service _legally_ without delivering alike letter. Legal definition of letter "delivery" is also somewhat tricky as tor network is operated by relay operators, not by The Tor Project Inc. Asking The Tor Project Inc (non-profit doing software development) is like asking firmware vendors (Linux kernel? Cisco and Huawei? I don't know the right analogy) to implement Russian blocklist in their firmware instead of asking Russian ISPs to comply. I'm unsure if there is such a thing as "entity representing tor network". I can't even imagine anything better than public mailing list of relay operators (tor-relays@ is declared as support, not a NOG, network operator group) that's also questionable destination for alike letter. Anyway, it looks like an interesting case from legal standpoint, it would be interesting news source if some Russian lawyer takes it. -- WBRBW, Leonid Evdokimov, xmpp:leon@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://darkk.net.ru tel:+79816800702 PGP: 6691 DE6B 4CCD C1C1 76A0 0D4A E1F2 A980 7F50 FAB2
