What's more, they're going to open it up to the rest of the world and any yahoo who has a need to hide what he's up to is going to use your network to commit unspeakable acts- you're going to be every pirate's best friend and every terrorist's safest haven. - "Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town", Cory Doctorow.
