And what if the TOR exit node was in the cloud? Are they going to
confiscate millions of servers just because a few of them were hosting
child pornography??
(I am a believer of Cloud Computing, and in fact earlier this month we
had a 10,000-node Grid Engine HPC cluster running in Amazon EC2:

)
I believe most Cloud providers (Google, Amazon, IBM, etc) have some
sort of disclaimer clause... but then one can get a VPN account easily
too (there are many free ones as well)! So how could VPN, local coffee
shops, and cloud providers protect themselves from this kind of
non-sense??
