From The Register:
"To download the online picture, he used the anonymising Surfola service
(and not Anonymiser.com as we mistakenly wrote in our initial report -
apologies to all concerned - Ed), believing the companys privacy policy
would protect him."
So now I don't know what to believe. Either Anonymizer was never
involved... or they don't want it known that they sold out so they asked
for a retraction.
