[bitfolk] TOR and BitTorrent

Hello, In the last few months there's been an increase in the number of notices of claimed infringement we have received from various companies acting on behalf of rights owners such as Columbia Pictures, CBS, etc.. A number of times this has been traced back to customers running TOR exit nodes. Assuming that you do not wish to trigger these allegations, I would suggest that those operating TOR exit nodes at BitFolk might like to consider whether they want to all people to be using BitTorrent through their node. Or indeed whether they want to be running an exit node at all (as opposed to a routing node which only talks to other TOR nodes).
