Not that I don't want to see pedophiles prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law but I feel a little uncomfortable about this kind of prosecution. What if a pedophile obtained my ISP sign-on and posed as me to open an account with a pedophile site? Most pedophiles probably don't want to use their real names so there must be some kind of black market out there for legit sign-on IDs and passwords, just as there is a black market for calling card numbers and credit card numbers.

Furthermore, if somebody in the government wanted to "ruin" a political enemy, all they would have to do is break into that persons home and "plant" child porn on their computer. Then an anonymous tip will bring the cops crashing their door down and how could you possibly defend yourself against that?

What if a bank robber dropped your stolen billfold while committing a bank robbery? Do we allow bank robbers to go free because they may blame the robbery on you?
