Pete Townshend was former guitarist of UK rock band, The Who. He was famous for smashing his guitar on stage.
In January 2003 Townshend admitted providing his credit card details to a commercial child pornography website, which he claimed to have done for research purposes. He made the admission in response to Operation Ore, a large child pornography operation which apparently had tracked Townshend's use of the website.
His research claims were bolstered by a document written by him, dating to January 2002 and once posted on his official website. In it, he describes the child pornography market on the Internet and police attempts to regulate possession, which he characterizes as a "witch hunt" that also catches innocent vigilantes.
