We do whatever possible to support relay operators, both in regard to organizing a lawyer as well as funding the legal battle. A generic "Tor relay operator legal fund" is not simple to set up, especially if the case involves other allegations than just running a relay. We have to be careful. I have talked to multiple lawyers, and this case would be very easy to defend against. William was sadly unable or unwilling to communicate properly, and he's not willing/able to put it to a fight. It is a sad situation overall, but it does not change the clear legal status of relay operation. All lawyers I talked to expect this case to be more complicated than it looks, and it makes no sense to discuss this purely based on what we have right now, which is some lawman's blog post. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
