    @429SCJ – a proxy server is not what you think it is. A proxy is an intermediary – it just passes info right on through.

    As for where the actual stuff is, you have to use the dark web for that.

    The guys who are making and distributing this stuff know we’re after them – so they encrypt everything, transmit large amounts of data by physically moving the actual disk drive from one place to another to avoid creating extra signals, and only allow downloads during certain times, after which the drive is unplugged and moved again.

    makes it hard to track down who’s selling. and the buyers can’t rat on the seller, once the seller has already unplugged the drive and moved on.

    The apex of this pyramid is the source.

    You can arrest these pervs all day long, why not go after the producers and the proxy servers that hide them?

    Some people just don’t get “it’s over”. The USA works hard to protect our children from this type of man.
