FBI 'rick roll'

[Cheeto]

Pretty apt description of what they're doing.

Might also call it 'entrapment' or 'being an epic fucking douche.'

Now, I like porn. A lot. I like kinky stuff, too. Some of the sites I've been to were questionable as to legality. Especially when you get into one of those portal to portal link traps (you click on a thumbnail, it takes you another site with more thumbs, click one of those, repeat) and you find yourself hitting a server in the Ukraine all the sudden. So does that make me a pedophile and a threat to humanity? Our neighbor had a 14 year old daughter and I lived next to her for years and clearly I haven't done anything at all to her.

It's almost getting to the extreme point where even when some high schooler walks by in a pair of bikini shorts and you see her go by you can be accused of being a child molester. Lady, if she's old enough for you to let her out of the house like that, be prepared that she's old enough to attract male attention. In blunt terms: she can reproduce, and my dick wants to give her babies. It's evolutionary monkey brain stuff. But at the end of the day, I'll take a swingin sexy college girl over your tarted up slut schoolgirl. In the meantime, I'm fucking tired of feeling paranoid that just because I watched some girl's bubble butt walk by barely constrained by the word 'sexy' on her ass the FBI party van is zero-ing in on my position.

8 year old boys do it better.

All kidding aside, it seems that the governments of the world are having a really hard time understanding and adapting to technology.

i've noticed how much harder it is to search for good pron via google.

I agree with you cheeto.

it's all a bunch of stuff. Since when does the FBI or any other America organization have the right to control and patrol the internet.

The internet reminds me of the ocean or something. Everyone has their little part. However, it seems that America keeps coming over to my part and telling me what to do. Fuck That.

AOL has a big part of trying to control the internet, same with google. It's all the same company right ?

i do agree that kids under the age of 18 shouldn't be on nude sites on the internet, thats a law i can respect. Why is it that the government can't keep it to just that ?

WHY is it that when it comes to sex on the internet, it has to be military style ?

fuck that, i'll do a chick in the butt, i don't give a fuck !

The internet isn't some virtual universe, its a collection of electromagnetic binary data stored on networked hardware throughout the world. If either those servers or the clients accessing them are in the United States, they are in the jurisdiction of the FBI. Even if they're not, its in the jurisdiction of INTERPOL and you can bet your ass the FBI is best buds with them. Even if you put it into international territory, the server will be sovereign territory of whatever nation the owner belongs to.

Unfortunately for alot of people, zero tolerance means hack into your douchebag neighbor's computer and plant evidence on him. For extra fun, break in and don't leave a paper trail.

i really am not surprised by this.

and i agree. when a high schooler is allowed to leave the house with short shorts that say "sexy" on the ass, parents forfeit the right to bitch about me looking.

[Cheeto]

I pulled into my apartment complex and there were 3 squad cars blocking the gate. They left right after I pulled it and turned around and left (didn't follow me) but I'm all paranoid, now.

I dun wanna be rickrolled!

Fortunately, it looks like they've decided against it. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU)

Perfect case of a guy getting crapped on by the justice system. Being awkward and hanging around inside a bookstore are not reasons to be arrested with $100,000 bail. Seriously, if this isn't thrown out during his arraignment, what the fuck is happening in California? This guy has a big, fat false arrest suit heading right his way.

OH SHIT, I JUST GOT RICKROLL'D

[Azevedo]

I listened to Rick Astley before the Rick Roll phenomenon. I'm still undecided as to whether or not that's a good OR bad thing.

[Burris]

It's a very terrible thing.

[Ginger Lord]

All I can see now is the FBI turning up at your door with a loudspeaker playing Rick Astley.

[engineer]

Yeah. It'll play out like a Second Life griefing raid.

[TylerDurden]

loitering where children gather.

wow. That might be ... the dumbest thing. I have. Ever. Read. Heard. Seen. Smelled. Touched.....

*touches with his panis*

SEND ME TO JAIL ! Thats it .. my panis touched a swing set, send me to jail.

I'd love to see that but not be the one opening the door.

Those protal sites freak me out. What's with all these new links to "Amature Ex-Girlfriend" stuff? I mean talk about clicking on landmines. I stay as far away from that as I can.

The only thing I can do to rationalize this article is that the link in question was very descriptive as to what he had to expect when clicking. And it said he did destroy some disk drives. Maybe he was hiding something? (probably just music he was afraid to have siezed or something but we'll never know now.) He did have two pictures of pornagraphy. However the pictures were "believed" to be under age. That upsets me a little bit. Unless they were OBVIOUSLY underage, in that sick and horrible way. The article could be written from any perspective. This particular case maybe justified, however it is scarey to think your own government would be out to trap you for something you may do on accident or for that matter be framed for.

[Cheeto]

The FBI's defintion of 'attempting to destroy' is pretty vague. He may well have been re-formatting them when they busted his door down.
