That is very true The only thing on my mind was the useful and "cool" factor of the idea that Tor technology with this tool would provide not only security over the transaction but also your location so that other people you have helping you keep backups of files won't have your real location info from a real IP. Of course then there are the people who jump on to the first negative use of a technology. Since people here are worried about anonymity being added because of pedo's I could chime in at this point and say about how it currently is right now: "We should stop BTSync right now!, because it won't be long before someone frames someone by adding illegal pornography to someone's folder they are synced with (offering some of their space for free or money to help someone keep a synced backup externally to them) and now everyone who is synced in to that folder has illegal porn on their system which can be traced back even after deletion! While in the meantime the guy who perpetrated the act unshares their copy of the folder, securely wipes the offending files from their system using special tools, thus erasing all trace. OMG!" The point is, anything is possible and if we stop developing things based on what a few people "can" do with a technology then everything will be impossible because we would never do or invent anything whatsoever. Anything can be blown up to the extreme. BTSync is no different. Unfortunately many people do blow things up and try and get things banned or stopped. Someone goes into a school and kills a bunch of teachers and commits suicide.. Then they want to try and ban guns, when really criminals get illegal weapons any way because?... they are criminals. SO effectively banning/stopping things only serves to restrict what law abiding people are able to do and restricting the ability to protect and defend themselves. They already banned hand guns here in the UK and low and behold gangs in London and elsewhere have guns! What a bang up job..
