To me, sending the location of such filth to the police is a more respectable activity than writing a book about it, although if he genuinely is trying to expose people or do good, then good for him. I just don't see why the man reporting it got done and Townshend didn't.
Even more inexplicable is why he accepted a caution and openly admits that he accessesed child porn when Investigative journalist Duncan Campbell proved that he (Townsend) had not in fact subscribed to child porn at the website landslide.Which Campbell and the state have promoted as the guilty website involved in "Operation Ore".Of course this is not surprising as the guilty website taken over and operated by the FBI was candyland.com.
This is why townsend et al have not snatched Campbell's hand off as it were.Self evidently they were paying for access to dozens of child porn sites.Now I am not a sexual deviant so cannot know how many websites or card renewals one needs to do to research a book.To plead guilty on the off chance one had accessed a particular website seems to indicate an immersion in much filth.It is interesting that the government have been covering up for the ORE criminals.At the time of ORE the UK was notorious among porn providers in the US for the amount of browsing but lack of purchasing the UK did.It was an industry statistic that less than 1 in a thousand browsers from the UK would subscribe in 2001-2.That statistic clearly shows that ORE represents 7.5 million browsers from the UK.Perhaps vested interests are preventing full disclosure.I notice wikileaks don't have the ORE list
