Good job... or not...

When that stuff got sold in the open the people behind it also had a pretty legit way of checking which kind of customers bought that stuff. Maybe it would have been possible to set something up that whenever someone did buy such books you'd run background check (or let law enforcement handle that).

But nah, this stuff is too dangerous so we're shutting it down. Effectively forcing possible terrorist-want-to-be's to go underground and download all their stuff from the Internet. Unseen nor noticed by anyone.

Good going!
