Very flimsy legal basis, methinks. Words like "entrapment" etc.

Indeed, we seem to have no shortage of botnets to fight that we can find 
on our own via malware & traffic analysis.

But now I'm curious about prosecution.  I would imagine that a money 
trail and a "buyer" would help prosecution efforts?  Even after word was 
out that there were undercover buyers out there, would that provide some 
nice chilling effect?
