As far as entrapment is concerned, it would probably help if you had a clue what the legal definition of entrapment is. "entrapment occurs whenever a police officer or other government agent deceives an innocent person into committing a crime he or she had no prior intention of committing."

Obviously if the clicked the link, they had the intention.
Actually, a half assed-lawyer could blow the doors off of someone merely clicking a link and actually being convicted even if they are arrested just because of what links are intended for because you could click one with no intention whatsoever but out of absolute curiosity alone or perhaps for research for a term paper or something.

But you are absolutely correct about entrapment as a lawyer has explained to me personally when trying to show me the difference between everyday business transactions in street drug deals and things such as the Delorean case where it was actually valid.
