I agree partially. Where there are humans, there will be crimes. But I
still think that for many, the best moral is lack of opportunity ;-)
I assume the easier accessible these kind of services are, the more 
they will be utilized. OTOH, governments are also not entirely 
trustworthy, and the less trustworthy they are the more willing I am 
to pay the price for anonymity.

PS: Still working on my slrn config; scrambled username and "real name",
so my previous post had the wrong mail address.
