You can fill out their short form, then there is a space to let them know your thoughts about this type of behavior.
I sent them a nice little note (along with a link to this article) asking if perhaps their legal department could stop being such a herd of jackasses and perhaps show a little humanity and compassion.

I also let them know I would be posting this article to Reddit as I think it needs the widest possible amount of coverage.

When the majority of your life has been spent in a downward spiral so that you passed the "dregs" long ago and have finally hit bottom, the only direction you can see is "down".
Lohan appears to have started digging with a team of backhoes just so she can keep moving in a familiar direction.
Just because someone wants to avoid being traced does not mean they are involved in criminal acts. This is along the same lines as "If you have nothing to hide..."
By your analogy, because some people use cars to commit crimes, then all people use cars to commit crimes, and therefore, not only the owners of Volkswagen, but the car dealers that sell Volkswagen cars (they provide the vehicle...) are just as liable as the Tor node operator.
I guess the O.P. of this particular thread would surmise you are a "criminal" attorney.

It is too bad taxpayers and citizens ultimately foot the bill for banks that listen to bullshit spewed by idiots like Alexander.
I seem to recall during the financial crisis banks "needed" to pay their high ranking officers exorbitant salaries to keep the best and brightest working for them.
If these best and brightest are listening to the likes of Alexander, then someone at the helm (of those banks) has failed to noticed all the burnt out bulbs in upper management.
1. the NSA does not violate the rights of its citizens?
2. Congress doesn't pass unconstitutional laws infringing on citizens rights?
3. the administration doesn't hide illegal government actions from the light of scrutiny?
4. politicians stop lying to citizens about what the government is doing, and how effective those same "doings" have been
5. politicians and the administration stop being yellow backed cowards that see terrorists behind every blade of grass across the world
If they could that, then perhaps they wouldn't be wringing their hands over what to do about the Snowdens that will keep popping up to blow the whistle on them.
After reading your statements, then the replies, it seems as if you haven't schooled anyone.
It does appear your replies come from a script of talking points supplied by your handlers.
If that is so, your "masters" appear to be very stupid and out of touch with reality. They also seem to be deeply mired in denial.
On the other hand, if those points you thought you were making came out of your head, then you seem to be the stupid one.
Regurgitating points long ago proved to be lies and distortions will convince no one that can read and knows to avoid the bullshit spewed by the copyright maximalists.
Oh, and by the way, if the ideas you wrote are indeed yours, then your handlers should still be considered stupid for hiring someone as ill equipped to do battle on their behalf as you seem to be.
Perhaps you should retire from writing until you become knowledgeable enough to form some accurate and informed opinions.

Re: Re: arm waving frantic
False.
I am an attorney. I use Tor a lot.
Just because someone wants to avoid being traced does not mean they are involved in criminal acts. This is along the same lines as "If you have nothing to hide..."
