Ciao Marco,
leggo che la tua email presenta un nome italiano.Parli italiano?
Ti ho già scritto una e mail e ho ricevuto una e mail di risposta che
non posso leggere perchè non ho la chiave segreta richiesta per poter
leggere il messaggio.
Martino.

My defense in depth ;) looks that way: Let the state come, let them
accuse you, win the case.
Did it once (german link:
http://www.gulli.com/news/anonymit-t-triumph-f-r-tor-vor-gericht-2009-10-30
), will do it in mid of march (this year) again (I think I'll win at
the first hearing, but if not, hey, then later :) ).

Best regards,
morphium

Hetzner has plenty of nongerman customers, so using an 
LLC as an abstraction layer would probably work.
Not sure they would accept yearly cash in advance,
as Hetzner.co.za does.

only if you purchase said services under your real name/accounts or
without sufficient indirection.

Well, it's not only due to 'their' misunderstanding of TOR, but it's
part of the game: They want to scare you.

That's interesting, because it means that running the node away from
home doesn't affect the chance of being harassed at 5 AM. :-(

Yeah, true. They asked my provider: "who owns this IP: xxx" and my
provider responded: "morphium - illuminati street 23 - bielefeld"

this is interesting.

just to clarify: you had traffic of interest from a dedicated server
in a data center running Tor, yet the raid and confiscation targeted
hardware at your home?

(while leaving the data center server untouched?)

I think they will have to pay compensation after I got my acquittal.
But that has to be checked afterwards.

And, if the case continues at it current ... speed ..., this can be in
3, 5 or 10 years.

2011-02-04 Thread Matthew



It happened 4 years ago... they came, took every hardware they could
find, took more than a year to analyze it, they found nothing (they
were looking for child pornography - someone downloaded via my tor
exit from swoopshare) and gave my hardware back after 2 years.
The trial is still ongoing, but there has only been 1 day in court
(about a year ago), the judge acknowledged that he doesnt understand
what we explained about Tor and such, said he wants an assessor, and
we'll see again in about 8 weeks (a year ago!).


So are you suing the police if the case is continuing but your hardware has 
been returned?




My lawyer now asked 2 or 3 times at the court, when&  how we'll
continue, but didn't get a response yet. Doesn't seem like the judge
wants to carry on fast.

(I also got letters from the federal police asking who had my Tor IP
at a specific point in time, got heard at the police (You are not
required to say anything at the german police, but I preferred to take
a laptop there and show them what Tor is and how it works - they
appreciated that [and I lowered my risk of getting raided another time
;) ]) and such things).

Oh and yes, they took only my hardware @ home, not the Server in the
data center that actually DID run Tor and that the "bad" IP belonged
to.
