every year there are dozens of drug dealers world wide sentenced to DEATH for only a small portions of the money that Ross made in one year, and every year the amount of drugs out of there encreases. To believe that a single sentence can deter other people to run markets and get rich it's simply STUPID...

Shutting down Napster didn't stop piracy, imprisoning the Pirate Bay 4 didn't stop the pirate bay.....It's the game of cops and robbers we all know the price we pay to play. . .

the moto of US it is known... "bang them until you tax them". The problem wasn't the marketplace as an entity but that it bypassed the state. You can bypass even God in this life, but not the state!

i don't know if it's entirely useless. i know for a fact there are some people who've decided to it's not worth gambling with their freedom, but there are obviously many who do :)
the only problem is that it doesn't take into account vendors having the same listings a selection of the markets. But it is still pretty cool data.
