Pedophillia Warning!!!
 

We have a pedophile distributing filth on the P2P network. Don't know how much else is out there, but this is one of the files : do not, ever again, post such keywords in this forum

I don't know what if anything can be done about this pervert but I aseem to remember a thread about catching another distributer. Porn is one thing, this is just illegal, sick filth!!!!!

Agreed! I've come across files with Pedo named with them also. I wondered if it was someone's name like pedro. lol :D duh! :rolleyes: That was till I checked one out to be sure. Whoops! It seems to be a semi-attempt at masking using an abbreviated term. I'm guessing all those after pedophilia search the term pedo. I guess you could report it here http://www.ifccfbi.gov as even if you're not from USA, AFAIK there's international cooperation re: pedophilia.

Well, I've tried that so I'll wait and see. If anything happens I'll keep this forum posted.

in the Location column it has the ip address of the download source. cant they be traced through that. often sites say your ip address is logged in case of illegal activity. why log it if it cant be traced?

one of the main IP addresses seem sto be 20*.130.*.*. Also a searcg for do not, ever again, post such keywords in this forum finds about 30+ images!!! Sick, sick, sick. Where's my GUN!!!!!!

Sorry but we need to remain consistent on the forum. No emails addys, no ip addresses, etc. are allowed to be posted.

Towards the end of the document you kindly provided the link for is the quote "wouldn't come across them unless actively looking" -This is not completely true. If you do a what's new search and inadvertently highlight the wrong file to download by definition that action is unintentional. Thus the author of the document seems to me to be protecting the software and balming the users. Rather like the gun argument. Guns don'[t kill people, people do. But why make and distribute certain kinds of guns in the first place. Just so they can be used to shoot tin cans, I think NOT!!!!!If the authors of the software were truley worried about it's miss use, I'm sure they could tighten up on what I can be used for. For example, hard coded licence requirements, rather than an optional setting allowing you to disregard the requirment.

Anyway, this is getting off topic. Legal or otherwise, I think there is one hell of a difference between the redistribution of a Movie and the redistribution of child abuse in any form.

I don't think LeeWare was defending pedophiles. And what exactly is LimeWire, FrostWire, Shareaza, Phex, Morpheus & all the other multitudes of gnutella programs supposed to do? It's like demanding that all computers, monitors, internet, cameras, dvd players & disks, video capture devices & storage mediums, video & image processing software, etc. etc. should have a special license or/& filter to stop them being used for pedophiliia. And how is pedophilia supposed to be detected exactly. lol :D There's some places in the world where what we consider to be underage ... is actually acceptable for marriage. I don't condone/agree with it. But that's life.

Thanks for the link Peerless.

Key word searched for one. Also description filters " do not, ever again, post such keywords in this forum" is a popular one.

AOL uses a very sophisticed Spam filter that is very impressiv. The technology could be adapted I'm sure. I have one or two years experience in the IT Business my self and know what can be done.

I disagree with the comparasion between hardware and software. If we can virus and spam filter, I'm sure we can Pedo Filter to an extent. However far more importantly is the ability to track back to the originators IP Address and take action. If the IP address is displayed then it can be traced.

Also the file I'm talking about contaning a 4 year old. I don't think that is leagl in any country.
