As much as I don't like the litigation culture or 'the man' stepping on 'the little guy' as a result - but if the little guy is being a dick and acting in violation of the spirit of the law then let him stomp away in defence of other little people... the world will be better for it.
If you provide the means to do something wrong - no matter what your intent - you are still responsible because without your actions the wrong would not have come to pass.
- cruise02 12y agoBullshit. If I make steak knives for a living, am I responsible when someone gets stabbed?
- menubar 12y agoBut what if your steak knife product was called "Fatal Revenge Stabber for Ex-Girlfriends and Steak"?
- cruise02 12y agoThat's a valid point. I'd probably take some heat for that.

- jheriko 12y agoa little bit yes. if you didn't make that knife they may have found another one... but that doesn't stop that they took your work and used it for harm. i'm sorry that reality is harsh.
- nknighthb 12y agoWhat a bizarre worldview. Is a pipe manufacturer is responsible when someone drowns in a bathtub?
- jheriko 12y agohow does that work? if you give people the facility to hide and commit crimes than you are helping people hide and commit crimes - even if your initial reason was to aid political dissidents who don't want to be found, rather than pedophiles, murderers and other assholes... arguing for tor is extremely hard because its much more useful for getting away with bad things than anything else...
- nknighthb 12y agoWalls allow people to hide crimes. Are homebuilders now responsible for crimes people commit in houses? Arguing for Tor is extremely easy because it protects a fundamental human right that has been routinely recognized and protected at the expense of short-sighted notions of safety and security for generations.
