We're not going to become a directory of hidden services. I will delete any page which tries to become a "hidden wiki". There are already 20+ hidden wikis out there, use one of them please. If someone wants to start a service like "stopbadware.org" or "mywot.com" for hidden services, more power to them. The Tor Project isn't going to do this. What the TorIPViolators page lists is public domains which try to trick users into thinking the domain/company/organization is associated with the Tor Project. A growing number of people around the world are getting really angry at us for their tormail, tor-browser-download, and similar experiences. We're receiving emails and phone calls from global law enforcement about tormail, specifically. They are surprised to learn tormail isn't run by the Tor Project. In the grand scheme, none of these domains have anything to do with us. From a trademark perspective, this is the definition of "confusion in the marketplace". Unfortunately in US laws, if we don't address the confusion, we lose our trademark. And then it's open season on the Tor name. It's a totally stupid and crappy situation to be in, but alas here we are. Trademark lawyers tell us this is a sign of success. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
