I have never advocated this, I simply said those who commit a crime by using the internet.

Still, I have an unanswered question. What if I use the internet to run a phishing scheme, steal people's ID's and credit card info and then use that to buy stuff that I then sell to make money? I get caught and I get convicted. Should I lose access to the internet because that is the tool which I used to commit my crimes?
ok so let say we criminalize the distribution to porn to anyone under the age of 18 with a permenent ban for every selling any content at all forever

you let one kid signup with a stolen credit card you no longer have a right to sell any content every again

you can't register domains
you can sell it on dvd.

you sell to one store that sells to kids you gone

that would match up exactly with what you are talking about

would you advocate that system as agressively as you are advocating a 3 strikes law.
