When I was first setting up Tor back in the day, I gave an explanation
to my ISP (Cable ONE) and experimentally ran an exit node from home. If
memory serves, within three days they got a DMCA notice whereupon they
cut me off at the knees. I quickly learned that help desks aren't, and
that Cable ONE perforce did not want to deal with the legal overhead or
hear about the elections in Iran. They have a three-strikes policy, so
nowadays I proselytize Tor, read the fine print, and encourage others to
do the same.
