> That might prompt the question - 'Who says it's illegal?'.
> And there, I guess, we come to a gap because although Comodo's CPS cites English Law we do not look to the English Legal system to make judgement before we revoke a certificate for 'illegality' - so from an outsider's point of view our standard is ultimately, I suppose, arbitrary.

I agree - we've revoked certificates upon requests from reputed 
organizations which provided supporting evidence, specially in relation 
to malware injections and similar stuff. We rely on other mechanisms 
such as the BR provisions in order to prevent issuance for sites that 
are or were immediately affected by similar activities at their sites 
(usually due to a flaw at their software).

And then we didn't revoke certain certificates with alleged suspicious 
activities at their sites where no such evidence was provided and no 
request from law enforcements or similar authorities were made. Also 
illegal activities can be very different from country to country (where 
sharing a nude picture could a criminal offense).
