Keyservers and anonymous Mailings
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- It seems that PGP keyservers have been attacked of late for alleged copyright violations. Nice tactic if you are PKP I guess. Has anyone considered the use of anonymous remailers to run a keyserver? A double blind keyserver might solve the operator a good deal of heat. Would this simply cause more problems than it solves? Perhaps the ethics are simply too black? (LD are you listening?) If PKP is going to employ this tactic, it seems that even the 'new' keyservers that run as simple databases and thus are not a copyright question are subject to harassment in the least, even if unfounded. If this is true, would anonymous remailing provide a buffer of some type? It always confused me that anonymous remailers were not used more actively for 'questionable' (read fringe) internet services. Perhaps there is a reason for this? Criminal liability I suspect. :) Perhaps I am mistaken in thinking that the lack of attribution just makes centralization less of an option on the 'data highway'? Considering the attitude of the current U.S. administration I am surprised this is not more of a common practice. After all, with the methods available, why make it easy to put the genie in the bottle? Again, would this just cause more problems than it solves by calling attention to already on the rocks anonymous remailers? Would make a nice test case. Or a poor one? - -uni- (Dark) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3 iQCVAgUBLQ/DJxibHbaiMfO5AQH8+QQA1FkotVUUabYOV+aYSqOgzhOjntl5jIE5 l9xHQ1XbzLrhHwamHPIjanGEfWow6xlGfaA6dUP/RvqVpZjNcAGMQ6v33bxJNpmb 5jL/w2/xq/GNssqeaJMeb0gCkQPJXrlZohY9EZeDOiZJzobLCbCIRdzXSjXoRir0 C83FYcN1Xns= =Wn1F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
