COMPUTER EXPERTS HACK KIDDIE PORN

NEW YORK  

About 35 computer security experts and high-tech professionals in Australia have formed a virtual neighborhood watch, policing the World Wide Web for sites peddling child pornography and in some cases they hack into the site and take them down.  They claim to have taken down

115 web sites already, 85 to 90 of them in the United States.  Members of Condemned.org say they are not vigilantes.  Their activities could make prosecution of these offending web sites more difficult some lawyers and even some crusaders against pornography suggest.
