In fact, I would argue that a remailer operator will actually be considered MORE responsible, legally, than Mrs. Bennis:

On the contrary, the government would have far _less_ ability to forfeit the property of a remailer-operator for the activities of a non-owning abuser than they do to seize Mrs. Bennis's car, because the misuser, Mr. Bennis, was also its owner. On the other hand, I'd say that a remailer used for assassination politics is _far_ more likely to be seized, warranted, subpoenaed, and otherwise harassed that one merely used for unencrypted dirty pictures or encrypted dirty money.... #-- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com, +1-415-442-2215 pager 408-787-1281 # "At year's end, however, new government limits on Internet access threatened # to halt the growth of Internet use.
