Hi Wendy, I was in a meeting today wherein Tom Ristenpart explained to the University of Wisconsin network people why he needed to run an exit relay to support his research. One of the concerns they raised was whether a Tor exit would endanger their agreements with the copyright mafia, per the new 2008 law where universities agree to enforce the copyright mafia's goals in exchange for federal funding. Do you know any details here? My guess is it's another case of "they say you have to have a policy, but they don't say the policy has to do anything". That said, I noticed the word 'effectively' in it. I'm cc'ing some existing exit relay operators in case they've encountered this issue (or if they haven't but I have just worried them ;) --Roger ----- Forwarded message from Thomas Ristenpart <rist@cs.wisc.edu> ----- Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:07:05 -0500 From: Thomas Ristenpart <rist@cs.wisc.edu> To: Roger Dingledine <arma@mit.edu> Subject: Higher education act http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/EPO0938.pdf ----- End forwarded message -----
