Carnegie-Mellon University has fired back in the TOR war, saying that it wasn't paid by the FBI to reveal its de-anonymisation research outputs.
The university's statement on the matter is here and includes the following:
"There have been a number of inaccurate media reports in recent days regarding Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute work in cybersecurity.
"Carnegie Mellon University includes the Software Engineering Institute, which is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) established specifically to focus on software-related security and engineering issues. One of the missions of the SEI's CERT division is to research and identify vulnerabilities in software and computing networks so that they may be corrected.
"In the course of its work, the university from time to time is served with subpoenas requesting information about research it has performed. The university abides by the rule of law, complies with lawfully issued subpoenas and receives no funding for its compliance."
Does it make it better that the government seized their research, which they paid to develop, without due process of law [Ed: isn't a subpoena a legal process?] or compensation?

A subpoena is a process of law. Depending on the court and a judge it may represent due process of law or it might be a rubber stamp from the FISA court.
