It addresses an essential question that is normally overlooked: Where is public safety and the rule of law on the Internet? Criminal activity is brazen and unconstrained. If it happened on the street, there would be an uproar and demand of law enforcement.
Perhaps in the early days of the Internet the lack of public safety and rule of law seemed normal; the environment wasn't really part of society, but an unusual subculture disconnected from reality ("IRL"). Now it's arguably the core of society, the venue for most business and interaction.
This norm - the lack of government, law, safety - is now absurd, and there are many, many innocent victims.
