I am curious as to how Tor operators will be viewed in all of this ... as ISPs or as material accomplices ?
Likely as a co-conspirator. This way, grand juries (who have zero clue to start with, and even less after the dog and pony show by the prosecutor) its easier to get warrants to go fishing on any domestic Tor participant. Thousands of potential "terrorists" for the price of a single subpoena :-(
Running a Tor node that is easily traceable back to your own real world identity is, I think, very foolish. Unfortunately, the Tor mailing list is full of people running them from their residential Internet connection or their college dorm room.
