> please stop defending child pornography and pedophiles.
Please reread my comment and tell me where I defended either of those things. You seem to be saying that you're a lawyer. I'd have thought that line of work would require a modicum of reading comprehension skills.
>It is worse than murder; these victims usually survive what happens to them.
Oh for fuck's sake. Do you know how incredibly demeaning and psychologically harmful it is to victims to tell them that they'd be better off dead?
>This idiot was dumb enough to run a anonymizing network that he knew could be involved in illegal activities. He ran several nodes despite this, knowing and accepting that the Tor network would shield the identities (for the most part) of the actual criminals using his systems as through-ways, leaving behind his IP address as the sole traceable link.
Yes, because there are obviously no legitimate and noble reasons to have anonymizing networks.
>if you want to use Tor, make damn well sure you aren't a pass-through for child porn

I'm not sure you understand how Tor works.
