from what i read, the reason for the complete ban on internet use is that there are so many websites and ways to communicate over the internet (e.g. DOS based emails) to solicit minors via the internet that it is easier and cheaper to just ban a pedofile's use of the internet completely rather than permit him restricted access/use. Can you image how much it would cost to monitor their activity?

Ultimately, pedofiles will find a way to satisfy their desire, like going to other countries or using web bars to access the internet. The best defense is teach children how to aviod and defend themselves from these freaks.
