I'm closing my mixmaster, [email protected], on the 4th of June.
There wasn't an incident that triggered this, but Hal's post about the FBI
sort of spooked me, as have the lawsuits. I don't have a lot of assets
myself, but I do have partners. My lawyer tells me that there's no
reliable way to separate my personal net activities from those of the
company my parnters and I own, and that I could even be exposing my
parnters to personal liability.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for me the problem with running a
remailer is that it's an inherently altruistic enterprise. That in itself
wouldn't be so bad, but the liability makes the extent of the altruism
open ended. If I knew that the worst case scenario would be $1k or even a
$5k personal loss I could do it, but an open ended liability that's shared
by my partners is unacceptable.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience this will cause.
