If they collect no fees, run no servers of any kind and just write and publish software I don't see how they can be held liable for anything.
The current design appears to rely on fees.
Well, then they'd better drop the project and let it be forked and continued by a team of anonymous developers wink wink. Or ditch the fees.
I dunno. It's still peer to peer, there's no coordination and no service being provided. I know, I'm living in a world that no longer exists, one where the rules matter and are clear. I don't doubt for a second that some day the government will try to jail these guys. Even if they do everything right, collect no fees, run no nodes, have no connection to the project other than having wrote the code, the government will come after them. I think we all need to accept this fact, that it's not about the rules, it's about power, and that when you threaten power it will try to destroy you, and we need to start hosting code on Tor and publishing and contributing anonymously.
