Legal questions about darknet research

I am mentoring a group of college students starting a multi year project researching the cultures of the dark net. They have some legal and safety questions that I can't answer, is there an expert out there who would be willing to answer some questions?

I'm not an "expert" but depending on the types of questions they need help with I may be able to lend them a hand. Just to clarify, I am not a lawyer, but I have modded this sub for almost a year and been using DNMs for close to two years so I think I'm well versed enough in the legality of this environment to be of help to them. PM me the questions or better yet just post them in this thread so everyone can lend a hand and learn a thing or two at the same time.

Everything /u/throwaway_concept said is right. You should listen to him.

Dude. You're fooling no one. If you want to learn how to use the market in order to buy yourself drugs, you need to read the sidebar, and go to /r/DarknetmarketsNOOBS. If you have any more specific questions feel free to pm me, but drop the "legal questions" stuff. No law enforcement can arrest you or do anything to you for learning how to use the markets.

We don't have culture, we have competing interests. Leave us now.
