It's not as easy as Googling what ever your looking for. Or, at least not when I tried. You pretty much had to know where to start and follow links like breadcrumbs to see where they would take you.
I did find some stuff, most of it was harmless privacy obsessed blogs but I did find some clearly illegal sites.
