Within minutes of posting this comment the title has been silently edited to be more neutral. (Although still potentially misleading given the associated domain name). It originally read: Tor to start reimbursing exit node operators

See my top-level comment. TLDR: No, as The Tor Project has nothing to do with this announcement.

Outright incorrect headline. An independent organisation, with no official ties to The Tor Project is now going to start reimbursing other organisations who run exit nodes. Essentially helping to ensure a more diverse set of relay operators

My understanding (although I'm not certain) is that a license to use and modify the software also implicitly grants a license to use the patents contained in the original code.

Generally it's a complicated area. Generally the only safe way to sneak out from under an existing license would be a black-box rewrite, done by people who hadn't looked at the source for the original version. Otherwise the origin

International Treaties are... weird. Generally (very very generally), they are agreements between governments to take certain actions, possibly with penalties if such actions aren't taken. The penalties would tend to be trade or econom

Except for the fact that they worked the TPB case under Swedish Law. You could (possibly) argue that they sponsored US-style legislation in Sweden, but to claim that TPB went down for violating US Law is misleading. It serves to erase the v

The person in question is in Austria, so as far as he's concerned a DMCA claim isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Unless the company submitted a formal DMCA notice to Apple, then Apple have no obligation to do anything under the DMCA, and so cannot have violated the DMCA process. (Pre-emptive edit): Although the company says they filed "filed copy

Sounds like an (partial)-inversion of a Web of Trust.

But they only became a 501(c)(3) in 2012. Before that 2005-2012 they were an LLC, and so thus most definitely weren't exempt.

On the legal question: As of writing, the Contributing page states: "License Submitting changes implies granting project a permission to use it under an appropriate license."[0] "license" links to [1] which states (in pa

As someone who knows nothing about cameras, that was a fascinating read.

They've not been Tor friendly for a while - and indeed have forbidden Tor for some time, at least according to Tors Good Bad ISPs wiki page - https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBad

That article seems to be talking about the App Store for iOS (the one you access via iTunes). We're talking about the Mac App Store that provides OSX applications. Now although the situation might be the same, I'm not definitely s

Yes, unless the Facebook account has only ever been accessed via Tor, and the personal information (name, age etc) faked. I'm unsure if Facebook blocked signups from Tor however.

My understanding is that if the phone is linked with a self-hosted Enterprise Server (BES, not hosted by RIM) then RIM don't actually have the keys to hand over. I would have assumed that a government would have enough cash (and sense)

I'd love to hear more information on what they mean by "penetrated Blackberry's security". Given BlackBerry's current troubles, and their certifications for Government use, this could cause them quite a bit of brand

I hope you'd get permission for commercial use of each of the images you find via Google Image Search?

You missed the biggest reason why it probably isn't: Tor is Open Source. The chance of any deliberate Trojan Horse being added in such a high profile project is virtually nil.

In the EU they are regulated as a (Luxembourg) bank. I assume you're talking about in the US?

Gender is not binary. Myself, I'm neither male nor female in terms of my identity. To simplify it a bit, When I think of myself in my head I don't think of myself as being "a male" or "a female".

You're missing the point. The author can understand it doing these things by default. But it appears to be regularly loosing / ignoring his opt-out. Something with full privileges, ignoring your specified preferences? That's far worse than

Disputing a card transaction has always resulted in a ban on Origin. But it has also always resulted in a ban on Steam as well. Ostensibly for the reason of card fraud and fraudulent accounts. Note: I'm referring to in the US here, I'm unsu

More to the point the EFF's lawyers are US lawyers. Canada is an entirely different beast from the US in terms of legal system. Their separate mailing list may have Canadian lawyers, but I'd suspect that the vast majority are US lawyers.

For me it depends. If the new title is a better description of the content, then I'm in favour. If the new title is a poorer description of the content, then I'd rather it wasn't changed.
