WSJ today reports on the war between web privacy firms and the feds: http://cryptome.org/web-priv-war.htm Lance Cottrell and other privacy protection firms are featured -- does Anonymizer really bring in up to a $1M a year? Lance says he doesn't keep logs thus cannot respond to subpoenas. Other privacy firms are said to cooperate with the feds. One brags that national security trumps making money. As if they natsec is not the biggest money maker of all time, though homesec is coming on strong. Privsec in the race, though deniability is mandatory. It notes the demise of Zero Knowledge just before the Patriot Act started the boom in people seeking protection from official spies. Darn. But then we don't know what ZK is doing black with the contacts it eagerly gathered in its meetings with the feds.
