Hi Matthias,

I'm running an exit node from my home network in NRW for about 2 years
now. Worst thing that happened was a cease-and-desist order
("Abmahnung") from 20th Century FOX in February this year, because
someone obviously torrented a movie through my node.

They stopped threatening me after I've sent them a letter - kindly
provided by Moritz from torservers.net - explaining the situation and
including a link to metrics.torproject.org to show that my IP was
indeed a Tor exit at the time in question.

I posted about this on this list, so you'll find my mails in the archive.

Hope that helped a little,
Hendrik
