you ignore the real choice do a legitimate level of investigation, to have a valid proveable case before you attempt to get a conviction.
The point is the laws are evolving now. Laws are always lagging behind technology. They are trying things now some of which are being ruled for and against. As we get more legal precedence set the laws will get more and more defined and eventually we will have something in place that is more clear cut.

BTW, you still haven't answered my questions. If I used the internet to run a phishing scheme and I get convicted of stealing people's ID and credit card info so I can make money off of it is it fair that I be banned from using the internet?

I'm just trying to gauge what you level of acceptable crime use is.
