Thanks for the reply. I am sure I will find a solution in the
future, should this law pass, otherwise I may have to close
down my service in Germany.

I may contact also a lawer to get more infos. I only hope
should I do this myself, that I am covered by whois guard
and anonymous payment services etc. when running Remailers
and .onion services. Unfortuantely then I am more or less
anonymous and can't announce such services then under my
name.
