Crazyness, though it was a matter of time in general. It was just getting too mainstream. ---

But once they confiscate te server, and have the server side logs, peer guardian does nothing for you. They have a log of your IP, what you shared, and when you did it. With that your ISP is more than willing to link to your account, real name, address etc. ---
