Do you think such an organization could exist in the light?

I've been considering a comparable project, but more focussed on opsec/infosec in a file sharing context. However, I've felt chilled by the possible legal consequences to me and my family if I enter this arena.

Bootstrapping myself to have great opsec seems like a really tough task. I feel like I'd have to repeatedly burn hardware, houses and identities if I want to stand a chance to reach "opsec heaven" where I can freely persue projects such as the Spook's Cookbook or the Pirate's Cookbook.

I think it could but it would need good legal support and PR support to prevent its actions from being mischaracterized.

I think it would be incredibly difficult if not impossible in today's world. So I think that an "in the light" approach is much less vulnerable.
