and just what makes you think it will be closed????


as far as blame, the first ppl to blame are the ppl who are sharing the files...

the second ppl just might be the law, as they I'm sure are some of the sharers of such files (sting operations), and I'm also quite sure those files get spread all over because of that...

as far as real enforcement, well many users of networks make a point of logging the IP addys of ppl sharing quantities of the stuff and reporting the offenders...

I've got to say, I find the current 'trend' of super stiff penalties for mere digital images to be disturbing....WHY???? you scream, because many many times said penalties are far harsher than the person who actually abused the child gets..and that makes me think real hard before I report anyone...like think are they sharing enough of said illegal files to justify the amount of trouble they just might get into? I mean really, who did the most harm? a person who downed some images/videos, or a person who is actually doing the nasty deed (the answer should be rather obvious....)?

Actually, start with PartII and read your way up.

Ask yourself why you're NOT hearing more about this. Pete

And, why was this broadcast killed before it could air?

Pornografi has been around since there are Cameraes hell there are even Paintings of Erotic nature its not differnt with children pornografi even the old Greeks abused young girls and boys to think any P2P Program has something to do with it is simply hilariously stupid. Ofcourse it makes it easier to spread and back 2000 years ago not every movie clip was transfered over the entire world in a matter of seconds but in the end there is nearly always a down side to everything i mean consider Cars how many millions of people get killed by them every year hell every day thou i dont hear you mourning about it i guees you still drive in one everyday.
Ofcourse child Pornografi is a bad thing but thinking P2P Networks are the Problem is pretty stupid.

Frankly, I don't get upset about child porn unless real children are used. As long as it is just a creation from someone's mind, similar to cartoon except perhaps a little more real looking, then so what? In fact having simulated child porn available, may satisfy the craving someone feels and thereby eliminate the real child porn.

I realize most people are emotional and not logical; however, I would willingly permit 1,000 simulations if that would prevent 1 child from being used.

Short of gently giving them a shot that will let them go to sleep forever, there is not much you can do to prevent people from acting on their cravings. I don't believe they can control their cravings. However, if their cravings can be satisfied with simulations and, if that in turn, will reduce the actual harm to children, I don't believe people's objections are logical.

I personally don't wish to watch crude porn or much violence in videos so, when I find it, I just delete. However, if others like it, that is find with me as long as they don't expose me to it.

i don't care if it's fantasy child porn or real hardcore child porn, i think the creators and users of this filth should be shot, there is nothing more sinister than the abuse of a child, exposing them to things that kids should not witness, and your theory of simulated child porn satisfying their craving just shows us how naive and ignorant you are, it wont satisfy them it will leave them wanting the real thing, methadone doesn't satisfy a heroin addicts cravings, and to think that filesharing isn't a part of the problem is just ludicrous, it's the biggest medium for sharing this **** that has ever existed, i use limewire a lot for music and movies but if shutting down p2p would reduce the traffic of child porn by even a half then i am all for it, i for one am disgusted by the lack of responsibilty taken by computer hackers and experts, if i had the knowledge i would seek out child porn distributors and users and expose them, there must be a way to plant bugs in their computers letting scotland yard or the FBI know where they are, if you can't expose them then surely you would be able to destroy their systems. but i don't think enough is being done, even when they are caught they are let off lightly, somebody i went to school with was selling pictures on the web, he was benifiting finacialy and he was also having sex with a 13 year old boy, and his sentence was a mere 18 months, needless to say, he was out in 6, he still has his old friends and has even got back together with his ex-girlfriend,
the lack of empathy from society will sicken me for life
