sending the information, but unfortunately it went through your computer 
which makes you partially responsible.

Not in Germany, at least it shouldn't. §§8-10 Telemediengesetz define 
something called "Providerprivileg" which exonerates any transport hops 
from prosecution, similar to how the postal service isn't responsible 
for any drugs they transport.

Additionally, thanks to the CCC [1] a lot of law enforcement actually 
knows what TOR is, that it's only a transport, and thus usually the 
investigation into the Exit operator is pretty limited... unless they 
find something else.
