I seriously doubt that publishing a list of known public-nuissances is genuinely illegal. Further, unless Dean has presented netgate with a court-order showing that the court has indeed found said activity to be illegal, I think they would be negligent in turning off said service.
Society, at least our Western society, has a long history of publishing such lists, and indeed the police are often the ones doing the publishing. Maybe some of you more community minded Americans can convince your President Clinton that ORBS is indeed a service that the US Gov. should operate itself in its effort to make the Internet a safer place. -- Greg A.
