See, that's what I disagree with..  Once we have it I think the 
corruption due to it is going to happen regardless of how we got it.
Of course, if we never actually use it, as some seem to advocate, then
perhaps there wouldn't be any corruption or appearance of it, but I feel
that's a disservice to those who were kind enough to donate it to begin
with.

I think it's not so much for us to cover ourselves, since I think in
general we're unlikely to put things that could get us in trouble in the
US on our servers, as it is to help our mirrors cover themselves...
