I think free EC2 + Tor is a net good thing, but it won't surprise me if it gets abused and disallowed by Amazon. With the rising threat of censorship it Tor and hidden services more important.
It's a shame that abusive Tor behavior (spamming, bandwidth hogging, ) can't be easily dealt with without violating anonymity or giving too much censorship power. Or, like what Slashdot did, block whole exit nodes.
