How do we expect to even find them, when they're using mixmasters to
remain anonymous? Do you know what a mixmaster is? This is exactly the
problem.

Try not to puke on your keyboard when you read it.
Can a suspected pedophile claim that a virus downloaded the porn without
him knowing?
Preposterous? But can a cop or a lawyer explain why the defense is
preposterous?
The point is simply this: Fight fire with fire. In the past, police
have always had superiority. Better
training, better knowledge, better guns. Not in cyberspace. While
pornographers are usually not the
brightest intellects, illegal Internet activity is generally
perpetrated by those who know far more about
the technology than everyone on the other end of the crime. Therefore,
it makes the most sense to
solicit the help of those who know the technology: hackers.

and other thoughtcrime sites...
