quote:

so what criminal charges do you place against someone who executed a script that buys random goods.

I would imagine there is some shared responsibility here. Firstly, the website advertising illegal drugs and acting as the moderator of the sale of illegal drugs, secondly it would fall on the person who executed a script to buy things from a pool of products that includes illegal drugs.

ETA: Is this really hard for you guys to understand or are you arguing for the sake of it? Am I getting trolled?

"Shared responsibility"

"Who do they prosecute?" is my entire point. They (our government) are not going to be able to take action against a company operating in another country. They can't take action against the person executing the script because it's paid for with and uses bitcoins for the transactions.

Are you responsible for the contents of packages that show up to your house if no one can prove you bought it? What about if you didn't buy anything.. it was a computer program hosted on an international server that simply mailed a product to your address?
