The only problem I see is that you can easily get associated with the
wrong people. Like what happened here in Italy with Fidobust (about 25
years ago): some pirates' phone lines were being tapped, and since they
connected to Fidonet BBSs, those got tapped too... then their lines were
tapped and the other nodes they connected to became "suspects" and so
on. As a result, a lot of people have had their bedrooms (where they
kept the BBS PC) locked for the YEARS needed by "justice" to do its work.

That's why my skin crawls when Robert J Hansen says

Especially if one of those is a judge. When the average person have to
pay for a lawyer, (s)he has already lost.
