Yeh I don’t agree with the stance “we haven’t seen a shutdown via legal 
challenge yet so I’m happy to just hang and wait and see what happens...”. 
Sorry but many people running keyservers aren’t businesses but rather private 
individuals and can not afford to risk ANY possible legal action. Once you hear 
from an attorney, the stakes go up and that’s too much a risk to bear.
