That's pointless anyway. If you're doing something illegal and you get caught it's most likely not because you posted about it. It's because you were doing something illegal and were caught doing it. They may use your posts to back up their case but that's just a sidebar to getting caught. The moral of the story is to stop breaking the fucking law. If you can't make yourself stop breaking the law where you are then move to someplace where the laws are different. I feel sorry for his kid (I'm assuming that's his daughter in the photo). How awful to have one of your parents in jail. What could she possibly say to her friends at school when she's asked, where's your dad? Very sad.

Problem is the law can be interpreted in many ways, it isn't black or white nor does it usually coincide with morality. I don't think Burt knowingly did anything morally wrong, though I don't know the full story yet, so far we've only heard half of the prosecutors side of the story and nothing from Burt's.
Exactly.With the information handed over, a person could be potentially identified. I also think that Burt didn't even realize that he was doing something wrong, and yet he could get a 5 year sentence.
This is what I'm talking about.
