Crowds, for those who haven't seen it, is a way of giving web users partial anonymity by making it impossible to determine which member of some ``crowd'' of users did some action (such as requesting a document). (This is a very rough summary--read the paper for the real analysis.)

Some people from MSFT proposed a similar concept at FC'97. As for its real life value, the legal term for such a system is "conspiracy".

Almost everything we do could be called "conspiracy". John has a good idea here. Let's give it room to grow.
