13. this is a witch hunt-check this out
child porn has been elevated to a crime greater than murder or even the actual murder of a child and it's political.

The internet is dangerous territory for anyone.

See this story by respected investigative journalist Duncan Campbell-about how Who musician Pete Townshend was probably forced, along with hundreds of others in the US & UK to plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit.

Operation Ore exposed
1st July 2005

In the spring of 1999, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) complained to the US Postal Service (which polices the Internet in the US) that Landslide's Keyz service was providing access to child porn sites.

NCMEC's complaints were accurate and in May 1999 Dallas Detective Steven Nelson began a covert investigation. During the summer, he bought 12 subscriptions in a false name. After getting his passwords, he hooked his computer up to a simple spider program called Web Buddy. He filled his drive with the contents of each site, at least to the extent that the links worked. Then, with the assistance of Postal Inspector Michael Mead, Nelson prepared to raid Landslide. This was Operation Avalanche.
