Exits are badly needed, but is it economically feasible to change to a relay? Based on your cost, and the ISP attitude to a relay only, does it make sense to be a relay instead - and still provide for the Tor community? I would be curious also to know if many of the ISP's have a higher level that gives them grief if they fail to act. I personally know my provider CEO, and he has no problem at all with what I run (just 2 relays now) unless many complaints occur. He stated that the government (FBI) starts monitoring after a few complaints from "certain" factions and he wants to avoid that. He has actually considered running his own exit after I talked to him, he fully understands and supports the ideals.

Jon, all others,
yes I understand what you say and obviously have to accept the ISP's wishes (order).
But before giving up a 100Mbit/s exit I would like to understand more about the ISP's reasons and burdens:
- is it just the more work for rather poor money handling(forwarding)
those abuses ?
- to whom else dose he have to report what he is doing with the gotten
abuses?
- must he answer to the origin of the abuse?
- who is getting a copy of them(if at all)?
- can he loose his license as a ISP (with to many or badly handled abuses)?
- are there any regulatory burdens for them - if so which ones?
- are ISP's treated different in different parts of the world?
Answers here might help me and others in bringing forward the discussion with them.
