Dear Christine.

That's not a kind of suprise that police and legal authorities responded in such a way.
In particular, worldwide law forces and police are far to weak in technological way of understanding such problems - to 
handle theese issues.
I recently spoke to the chief of police in our country, as being a relative of him, he "boasted" to me, how they are 
fighting criminals in IT field, as a professinal i was really curious on what measures are they taking to fight crime 
in IT fileds, well the answer was "we are paying a lot of IT specialists to da that kind of work", hmmm peculiar but i 
saw no actions from them still now.

By the way, i really am interested only in issues which originate from our country local ISP networks, not giving 
attention to the issues originating abroad (i am used to the fact, that if an issue originates from abroad, it is 
impossible to trace or to catch the person commiting that´) still, it seemes to me that the best way to fight theese 
crimes is to post an abuse to the ISP of the attacker, in practice ISP are people who care about this the most, still 
even them not in all occurences, and not all of the ISPs.

Regards,
