move everything to TOR isn't really a solution either. just saying, if they're gonna pinch you, they're gonna pinch you. most people don't understand how TOR works and that would kinda negate the whole purpose.

if you were gonna go that route you could just tell everyone to grab their roms from usenet, but again most people don't know how that works so what's the point. 100 other websites will take the place of this one and life will move on.

Oh, I'm not talking just the roms. I mean everything. The emulation projects should be hosted on Tor and taking monero for donations. Etc. Apply that shit across the board. We need an alternative structure to their infrastructure where they get to pull the plug on anything that's a threat to their profits, hegemony, or sensibilities. Parallel institutions, if you will.

oh.. yeah, i guess.. but TOR was created by ONI and you can be sure the US government runs most of the exit nodes.. and I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if they had the ability to turn up enough machines on the TOR network to do end-to-end connection tracing if there were things of interest

Its probably decently expensive running those nodes, and so why do that, when you can just let someone else do it and then tap into German and French and US ISPs and get all the data anyways.
