You actually are saying what I said, just you misunderstand your own point. You clipped my entire statement to make it appear to say something else. A TOR node, in and of itself, is not infrastructure for passing packets. It's a service on the infrastructure. I never implied that the traffic through/from the ISP or the TOR was more or less legal than the other. > > In other words, if TOR exit nodes provide a "knowingly illegal offering", > then Comcast is doing exactly the same thing... No they are not. See previous. <SNIP ongoing blathering> - Brian
