A Princeton Undergrad on running a TOR exit node

This is a fascinating read. Personally, I'd never run one, certainly not unless the EFF's legal position that Tor exit nodes are covered by the DMCA's safe-harbor provision gets backed up by the Supreme Court. On the one hand you have the .1% of traffic that really is people legitimately wanting to voice their opinions without fear of retribution (probably .01% when you filter out the paranoids), on the other you have the 95% of Tor traffic that's music and video pirates that don't want to pay for their own VPN service plus the 4.9% of traffic that's genuinely criminal all tied to my IP address. No thanks.
