1. There was an organization reporting a crime.
2. There was an organization committing a crime.
BBC did both, which #2 was not required to report #1.
Put in selling tobacco to underage kids in place of running botnet (or any other crime for that matter). Same thing.
BBC would have much better served the public to have purchased the botnet time, then had it sit idle for the time bought, then report on the ability to buy botnet time. This would have been a grey area. What the BBC did was not.
