And what's next?  Kazaa? IRC? (lord knows IRC can be used to
facilitate crime) A "bad" crime is simply a way to introduce the idea
to the general populance with a crime that elicts support, and then
gradually, it's used to encompass other crimes.  Personally, I don't
like the idea of a anon proxy service rolling over and not informing
users, regardless of the crime "some" users may have been committing.
