That this was ruled not entrapment isn't very surprising or notable. I found this interesting though:
>"Given the potential of online investigations to impact many more individuals than an equivalent investigation in a physical space, the nature of those impacts deserve scrutiny," the ruling said. "How the police act on the Internet may matter as much or more as where they act."
It's good to see courts acknowledge that modern times are different, and we should re-evaluate our old ideas about law to see if it makes sense to still apply them in the same manner or if they should be updated.
