The recent arrests of two local men in child porn cases should serve as notice that computers are not private. Every computer has a unique "address' just as a telephone has a number so a call can be directerd to that particular phone, a computers address allows information the user seeks to be directed to the particular computer being used.
Pleae also be aware that people lie alot on the internet. In one case a 48 year old man pretended to be a young man and used a picture of his friend. He corresponded with a young lady named jessica and was building a relationship with her. The man who climed the younger guy was his son and also a marine, would keep in touch with Jessica, relaying maeesages between her and his son. When the man's wife found out about the ruse she contacted Jessica. Jessica contacted a person Montgomery had mentioned in his emilas and discovered the other person was the person in the photograph that originally attracted her. She stareted a correspondence with him and when Montgomery discovered that he shot and killed the younger man.
In wasn't until his trial for murder did he discover that the beautiful jessica was actually a fat 45 year old woamn poseing as her daughter.
There really isn't a thing as anonomous on a computer.
That's how police tracked one serial killer. Tauting police, he sent a map to where they could find a victim's body. Tracing the map, police learned that only one had been down loaded by area resisdents in the time frame indicated and tracing that computer, an arrest was made and a conviction gained of a serial murderer.
And let's not forget the resent Craigslist killer. Sure, the internet lead him to his vicxtims but the internet also led police to his door and the jury to the conclusion he was guilty of robery and murder.
