Sometimes you can actually have it both ways, viz.: http://www.deadswap.net/
A clandestine system which allows offline and anonymous sharing of information, 
beyond the grasp of the Internet and its everpresent possibility of the Authorities 
looking over your electronic shoulder. But we do live in the age of computers, so the
information is naturally swapped in the form of USB sticks, as opposed to good
old-fashioned paper. 
 
Note the skull in deadSwap's symbol: It is of course a pirate's skull, but skulls
are also an important part of Trystero's iconography, ne?
