Subject: Tor servers seized in Germany

For IP, perhaps.

According to
http://itnomad.wordpress.com/2006/09/10/germany-crackdown-on-tor-node- 
operators/
some Tor servers have been seized, allegedly because they were used to
view or distribute child pornography.  Of course, Tor servers are just a
conduit, just as the Internet itself is just a conduit.  It's the
anonymity service that's apparently troubling law enforcement.
