I think the main important person in the interview was his mother, not Josh. Josh interviewed her, and what she said is true. She didn't ask to free him completely, what she said is what I reported in my above message. Josh has his point of view, let him have that.

She was making sense to me but Josh doesn't have a good understanding about freedom. Freedom doesn't mean everyone can do anything they want. People were hiring hitmen in that website to kill others. It's not freedom, it's anarchy.
By your logic. All officers of every phone company, officers of Facebook, and nearly every other provider of communication should be equally charged and sentenced. You are defending highly selective enforcement of poorly reasoned laws. Ross created something that others used for illegal activity. He did not actively "cover" for anyone.
The difference is that Facebook and communication companies with any court order would provide information of users to authorities and Silkroad would tell them to go f*k yourself. It was exactly a covert and that's why people were selling drugs there instead of Facebook pages.
