Agreed, but after reading articles like: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.10/kidporn_pr.html I'm not sure if I'd want to take the risk of doing the research myself. Adrian On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Chris Merkel <cmerkel at gmail.com> wrote:
I think it would actually be beneficial to share methods (not results) of darknet research with law enforcement agencies, to help keep the illegal image hashsets up-to-date, which benefits LE forensic investigations all over the world.

However, in the case of darknet research it's next to impossible to know where it came from, and if it was reported everytime a new image/video was found you would be in calling an FBI field office every 20min. This has a huge chilling effect on such research, or at least the publishing of such research. I'm asking a lawyer I know on the issue, and in the mean time being careful where I click.
