Except, comparing apples to apples, what typical Tor operators do is no 
different than what ISPs do.
Comparing handing out weapons to passing internet traffic through 
servers - while having no knowledge of its content, is an apples to 
oranges comparison.

Except that Tor operators (or any others like them) are "little guys" 
that a lot of LEAs don't like.
To be fair in applying the law, Austrian courts would *have to convict* 
the Austrian equivalent of say, AT&T (ISP), if they were EVER found to 
have unknowingly transmitted illegal material through their servers.

Of course every huge ISP has transmitted illegal / stolen material, or 
plans to commit crimes through their servers - but not w/ their 
knowledge or blessing.
I've never heard of a single ISP being indicted, much less convicted 
over a case like this.
