Now, suppose some non-US person sets up an auto-responder that sends out strong crypto software, and another non-US person requests it and gets it.
Is anyone going to be guilty of ITAR violations?
Well if thay can't trace it back to the person who put it on the system thay will go after the system itself.
Another related thought: some folks send out lots of unwanted e-mail offering to broadcast an ad to a million addresses for $40 or some such. What if a non-US person paid them $40 to spam people outside the U.S. with strong crypto? Is it possible to stuff a blatant ITAR violation into about 100 lines of ascii? --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
