Should I use Tor, or encourage the use of Tor, for illegal purposes such as spamming, harassment, distribution of child porn, or copyright infringement?
No. Tor has been developed to be a tool for free speech, privacy, and human rights. It is not a tool designed or intended to be used to break the law, either by Tor users or Tor relay operators. We further recommend that you not keep any potentially illegal files on the same machine you use for Tor, nor use that machine for any illegal purpose. Although no Tor relay in the US has ever been seized, nor any relay operator sued, the future possibility cannot be ruled out. If that happens, you will want your machine to be clean.
