It is also worth mentioning that VPN operators typically have the ability to log who does what and when. This makes it very easy for them to resolve abuse complaints and turn over the offending parties to the relevant authorities.
Unfortunately many organizations feel that IP bans are their only option when dealing with abuse originating from the Tor network - since there is little else that can be done by design. And as mentioned earlier it is very easy to pull down a list of current Tor nodes and ban all the exits unconditionally - they are not even waiting until an incident happens anymore. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
