This is worrying.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08/07/london_cops_close_down_site_arrest_suspect/

If this reporting is accurate, it implies that UK City of London Police
may be co-operating with copyright enforcers in closing down a service
which bypasses an ISP filter. 

A logical extension to this would be arrest of any UK VPN or Tor
operator for "facilitating" access to sites which have been blocked by
ISP filters.

As many of the commenters on the Register post have said, "what crime
has been committed here"?
