Where did I spread misinformation?
I _asked_ in this thread whether it is a problem or not. And by the way, I
thought about tor running as a client, though the whole discussion is about
exit nodes.
I don't want to setup tor as an exit node, though it may be right what you
said.
Don't know how things are in different countries, but in germany, it's like
this:
you may have justice on your side, but it doesn't matter. Law is very complex
in different judged make different decision. It's pretty much of a roulette,
even if the law is actually on your side.
If law isn't even clear at all, chances in the roulette are worse for you.
In germany, you can dare to fight a law conflict if you have money and time.
I have neither money nor time, and so I decide not to do it.
I know of people being sued for using filesharing networks.
They received letters from lawyers telling them to stop illegal activity and
pay an amount of money for not being brought to court.
Perhaps the law is actually different, I don't know. Whenever I informed
myself about the law concerning online activity, the output was: even experts
are arguing and don't know what's legal an what isn't.
So if I run an exit node, getting such a letter is the best thing of the bad
things that could happen.
Would I dare to join the roulette?
No.
And I never heard of the tor developers saying "everyone who uses tor as a
client does harm to the project - stop it".
If I read something like this, I would simply stop using tor.
