The FBI supplied an affidavit showing that his IP had five different accesses. He attempted to download a file, refreshed, then tried to download another. Then… SIX HOURS LATER… he returned to the site and tried to access another file two more times.

This is not a random click, this is not curiosity or a spoofed link, this is blatant interest in illegal material. The FBI used the logs for this to uncover his identity and get a search warrant issued, there was no spontaneous raid.

Cheers!

Only for people stupid enough to use Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” button on the front page. A normal search will never take you directly to a web site. Personally, I always go directly to the advanced search page.

But I agree with it being entrapment cause if it wasnt there then you wouldnt click it. I dont know why they botehr setting up sites like that. There are hundreds if not thousands of sites all ready created with huge numbers of members. They just need to keep raiding those sites and track down the members of those. Cause they have to pay to join those sites and there credit card numbers and address’ are logged in. Kind of hard to beat that in court.

AMEN

This is why they do this. It is the easy way to pretend doing their job as law enforcement.

This FBI guys are lazy and are just Bowlshiting their way arround.

It is like the RIAA pretending to catch file sharer just by having an IP address! What a fraud! And there is judges stupid enought to believe them!

Another exemple is Gatanamo bay. 90% of those locked in Gatanamo are inocent bystander that have nothing to do with ever ElQuada and the Talibans. This is why they torture them. To Fabricate evedences and once again to pretend that they are efficient against El Quada and the Taliban.

May be this guys is a pedophile but frankly the evidence are rather thin and in this case their is more than reasonable doubt.

I say that if this is the way they keep us safe let fire all these lazy butts and take care of our safety ourself.

We don’t need no freaking FBI!

7 = USA Country Code

812 = Washington D.C. Area Code

578 = US Government Pre-fix

If you do a search for “da.ru”, Google automatically takes you to that site!!!!! grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It scares the crap out of me that any judge would allow such a charge to actually go to trial, or that someone could be convicted on nothing more than visiting a web site. How many truly innocent people will have their lives ruined because of others reposting such links?

Also, the fact that someone can be sent to prison for “attempting” to download child pornography is flat out wrong. So much stuff on the net is mis-labelled that probably 90% of adult porn downloaders could be convicted of such a charge for simply downloading the wrong thing by accident.

Greorge Orwell was right; Now we’re prosecuting people for “thought-crime”.

It is so easy to click on unwanted links! Many spywares and others malwares are actually relying on this!

This is why most of the time my browser is in high security mode.

Yet how many times did I clicked unintentionally on unwanted advertisements links!

A couple of time I did opened this way one of these annoying adults porn site that open 10 or 15 windows faster than you can close them until you raised your firewall to block all incoming traffic. This web sites typically try to hack your computer! To prevent unintentional clicking disable the click taping on your touch pad if you have one and try to avoid mices with more than 3 buttons.

Thanks

Cheers!

Will a “download this illegal movie” site be the next outrage?

This is more than ever proof that EVERYONE needs to download and use a Tor (Vidalia) client for all of their web surfing. Then you don’t need to worry about this kind of invasion of privacy.
