Has anyone successfully found something useful which they couldn't find elsewhere using this tool? I tried it on a few things yesterday and was disappointed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
To be fair, they do have a thriving market for PayPal accounts and money laundering. DEAR NSA: THE FACT THAT I RESEARCHED THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET TO KICK MY DOOR DOWN NOW. THANK YOU.
You are aware that the NSA doesn't kick down anyone's door, and that any SIGINT intercepts are accompanied with a message that they can't be used in criminal prosecution, right?

Why are the academics forced to publish their papers through these paywalls? Hosting a PDF on the university website seems cheeper than going through these publishers. Are these university imposed rules? Are they forced to go through these publishers if they want their paper peer reviewed and published in journals?

"The researchers, who have been studying and writing about encryption policy, sniffed around with a Tor browser and found 1,547 out of 5,205 total websites live on the dark web engaging in illegal activity." It is one of the most common ways for distributing those three things, so yes, that "meme" is correct. http://www.networkworld.com/article/3031661/internet/drugs-g...
