Complying with the regulations that already exist just means Mt. Gox can keep offering its products.  You can still withdraw your coins to other wallets that are not registered with any central authority.

A good move for Mtgox & a good move for bitcoin.

We don't want our largest businesses being the forefront of bad activities.

I agree, after what happened to Liberty Reserve, mtgox has to be careful. A good step in the right direction for me. If someone wants to buy bitcoin on the downlow there's always more marginal exchanges and shady back alleys with wifi access from a nearby restaurant
