    what's stopping the Chinese secret service (or whatever) to register with this service as hosts, collect all the information needed to snatch the blogger and make an example out of him and his family?

    Would any chinese adopt my european CVS?

    That would be great! If I could move my project to a free country. Reading trivial patents is so boring you know...

    Nobody gives you rights. You have rights. There are only people trying to take them away.

    If all people exercise their right of free speech, free press and free association then those rights will persevere. If you back down, then you will cede your rights. Its easy to promote a popular cause. Its the unpopular ones that define your character.

    Anyway, I'd like to help, but my ISP won't let me host a blog on my server. And I have to wash my cat this weekend.
