technically, every data IS screened by your ISP before reaching the other party... its just that they did not do a 100% check yet...

All internet traffic are routed via ur ISP's proxy server.

Which effectively means that all ur traffic are logged.
In addition to that, if ur ISP decided to play sneaky, they can install a network packet sniffer along their gateway to log every single friggin' thing u typed and are sending across the internet to the other party.

Currently there is no way to bypass ur ISP's proxy server unless u don't surf the net.

Not in this entire planet. Privacy is non-existent anyway.

I think they were caught because they were using Kazaa most likely..Kazza is one big spyware in itself, how hard would it be for the law enforcer to task their own IT people to go online and bait unsuspecting people not too internet or PC savvy. They will be the first to get caught.
