"No, officer -- I'm just mapping out all of the bank security cameras and guards because I'm doing research, so as to prevent other people from robbing the bank. What... my lawyers haven't called you yet?"
I was just doing research on what the insides of Ron and Nicole's domes looked like.

Wait, I guess that one is actually true.

When he accessed the site, he didn't download anything - there was no indication of what was on the site when he joined. He notified the police after joining and turned over his computers for verification.
The police backed his position up 100%, they said it was formality that they had to register him.
btw, that police operation was closed down - over a thousand innocent people wound up getting charged (stolen credit card numbers) and labeled pervs (someone from massive attack aswell?)
He might be an arrogant prick and a bit weird but he's not a perv. You nanny state, big government liberals need to get the fuck out of people's bedrooms and mind your business

I dunno' Phibes, he still might be a perv... just not for what got Dins witch hunting panties all wadded up over.
There's more than one way to be a pervert, of which I'm sure our uptight, hypocritical U & L'er has discovered at least 99 different versions.
All legal, of course.

Wanna link up that quote?
Doesn't really jibe with the whole "I told my lawyers to call the police because I was doing research on kiddyporn," now does it?
Who's lying -- you, or Pedo Pete?

I could care less. If I start deciding who I listen to based on their morals, then just about every band of the late 60s and 70s would not pass muster. Hello? Lori Maddox anybody?

Well here's a decent sum up:
computer evidence used against 7,272 people in the UK accused of being paedophiles had been founded on falsehoods(see issue 130, p152). The misleading evidence, which claimed that every user of a Texas porn portal had to click on a banner advertising child porn to access illegal websites, was withdrawn last summer. "It's specifically not alleged that [the accused] would have...seen a banner saying 'Click Here Child Porn'," a British court was told.
The climb-down came too late for many; between then and now, the death toll of those who have killed themselves under pressure of the investigations in "Operation Ore" has risen from 33 to 39.
Rock stars Robert del Naja of Massive Attack and legendary The Who guitarist Pete Townshend were both arrested in 2003, after the police had leaked their names to the tabloid press. Both men's names are listed on Landslide records as signed up to Keyz websites. But the police never had any evidence that the websites concerned-which are shown as "Alberto" and "Spermed" -had anything to do with children. Nothing was found on their personal computers. The investigations against Mr del Naja were dropped within a month due to insufficient evidence. But the police didn't tell Townshend that their entire evidence against him was a single entry made on Landslide on 15 May 1999 for the purchase of the Alberto website. Under pressure of the media filming of the raid, Townshend appears to have confessed to something he didn't do. He was cautioned and his name was placed on the sex offenders register. Ironically, In April 2006, the Home Office launched the child protection agency CEOP with del Naja's song, Teardrop. Head of CEOP James Gamble, the person responsible for Operation Ore, told the press "I didn't choose the music".
I don't buy the 'I was researching a book' story either, but when you read up on how he was set up - I'll wager he threw something out on the fly that would sound plausible.
Christ, if everyone went to jail for that - the only inhabitants of the net would be toughlove and the odd dog or cat.

I get dins' contempt for pedo townsend, but, as bri said, if you start filtering your musical taste by the artist's moral fiber or lack there of, you'll be listening to uhh, let's see, uhhh, fukkk. You might as well dig your ears out of the sides of your head with a rusty garden hoe.

Hey Wags - if you like early Who, you'd probably like mod band 'The Creation'. Decent high energy tune, great film - just don't tell BSmack playing guitar with violin bow is just another thing Jimmy Page ripped off

How is "you are forgiven" obscure? Don't they sing that line nigh on 50 times in the song?
