cnet.com — In a recent blog posting, a German operator of a Tor anonymous proxy server revealed that he was arrested by German police officers at the end of July. Although he was released shortly afterwards, information about the arrest had been kept quiet until his lawyers were able to get the charges dropped.

Wow, right from cars to sulfuric enemas. Someone has been thinking.

If you are anonymous, you can not be commoditized. That's absolutely necessary for a capitalist economy. Hence, the "show me the money" reason for preventing anonymity.

Funny there isn't any mention of this on the EFF site. At least not yet.Last time I tried TOR, it was far far slower than dialup and it came out in Germany. >shrug

Stop trolling. Leave the house once in a while.

A suspect? hardly. A lead, perhaps. Certainly nothing more.The issue is that the cops had no idea what they were doing or what the technology they were tracking meant, so they pulled out the cuffs AND RAIDED THE HOME of the first human name they found. It's practically the definition of grasping at straws.
