Look, maybe you're not that savy on digital protocols so let me explain it to you as best as possible. These guys in the FBI sting were caught using their own credit cards on the World Wide Web for viewing illegal content. What the FBI nabbed for all its work, money, and skirting of the law is stupid, small-time, amateur perverts. Nobodys as far as the crime is concerned. There are at least TWENTY other ways to view any binary file over a connection and all of them are more difficult, if not totally impossible to trace when compared to WWW TCP\IP protocols. Efnet, Dalnet, IRC, P2P,proxy servers, usenet....the list goes on. Throw in 512 bit encryption, and you could transmit secret death ray plans complete with your home address straight to the FBI and they'd never be able to read it.

Take a look at the newsreader portion of your browser one day and grab some headers off the usenet. Apart from a few helpful discussion and tech groups, it will read something like "alt.binaries.(insert weird or illegal fetish here)." It's almost like the drug war, catch one and six others will pop up in their place, not to mention the international aspect of the crime or the absence of any "real" physical evidence. My job is network security with a huge company....it's a big free-for-all jungle out there, believe me.

The point to all this long winded post is that the sin that the FBI committed, probably in America, on American equipment, and staffed by Americans, far outweighed any good that they did in Britain.

Do you think Avila was a computer genius? This guy they caught in Puerto Rico with 40 videos that he had made of rapes of, at least, 12 girls ages 4 to 12 took some still pictures to K-mart to be developed.

Puerto Rico: Man may also face federal pornography charges

Child molesters are stupid, moronic lowlife.

The FBI did the whole world a favor by identifying these perverts.
