Hi I just wanted to let you know that Washington sent us a subpoena regarding one of our exit nodes in Romania. They want to know the real IP behind the Tor Network. I mailed them what Tor is and why I can't help them in identifying this person. Nevertheless I will give you the link to the full subpoena. Maybe you guys find it interesting. I will forward the subpoena to our lawyer as well.

Good morning list,
I just called up Alistar and explained the entire situation. They IT guys know what Tor is and their company is strongly interested in continuing supporting Tor. They are a partner company now of Voxility, and the apparently while moving some clients, someone did forget to tell them that they'll get a client running Tor exit nodes.
They are simply overchallenged with this request as it is the very first one they have ever received.
The good news is, that they will _not_ shutdown our server, nor take any logs, which are non-existant. The counterpart we need to contribute is a letter by our lawyer and favorably a letter from EFF or some other bigger organization guaranteeing Tor is what it is and we as client do not try to fool them.
This is a request from the administration level of the company, not the tech guys - as always.
So, I'll get in touch with our lawyer & with EFF. Is there anyone else within EU, whom could certify them what Tor is and what it is capable of and what not? Moritz?
Cheers, J.
