Yeah, which is the point of the non-US/Europe hosting and domain registering, etc. Anonymous payment for hosting. What was the name of that really good French host that'd host anything and was aggressive about protecting its customers' privacy again? Basically any and all steps that could be taken to insure anonymity of those running the site. Likewise, no logs are kept of those using the site to search. Maybe minimal ones for security purposes in case of a breach for finding the cause and source. Ideally, little to no personal information of those running the site should be on there anyways. And no Tor please. Tor is a dead argument and very slow.
...did you pay attention to anything that went on with EG8? You have absolutely no guarantee that anything will be safe in France over the next few years, given Sarkozy's stance.
