Person X commits treasonable act A. All of the persons who are signed on to his key could be considered to be co-conspirators. The same applies to nyms. The difficulty with prosecuting nyms is finding the link to the real world individual.

The only way I see getting around this is only signing nyms with nyms or having some sort of zero knowlege proof on a key signing authority. Something where you can issue some sort of proof to the signing authority that you are who you say you are without giving any information about your "real" identity. I know of no foolproof way of doing this...

I guess we are stuck with the "Web of Guilt"...

Doesn't all this stuff give you a headache <G>?
