Is there anything else you recommend?
Do you any freeware hd "scrubbers" out there?
Thanks for the help.

I download porn on LimeWire regularly. My biggest problem is either the sources are unreliable or my dialup internet is just too slow to handle a download. So usually I just click wildly on many different images because I am thinking that it is only showing what I searched for, like an adult(yes ADULT) video, but instead there is child pornography. Many things aren't what they are named, and lately I have been quite nervous because I have just started downloading porn on a regular basis on limewire and I have found many of the files to actually be child pornography, I have used the mcafee file shredder to shred these files about 20 times a piece. I already knew that it was illegal, a few people from my own town got busted for having it, so I was quite nervous. But then I check it out online and find that there is "Dummy" files that the FBI uses to catch suspects of child pornography? I think someone else is having a mental breakdown now, I know what the guy is talking about.

Child porn isn't my bowl of soup, and just think of all the relief everyone would have that downloads adult content on LimeWire or any other filesharing program if there wasn't any such thing on them. There's no way to stop it though, because people can share anything that they want, and unless the FBI makes a whole new branch of their investigations and hires another thousand or more trained employees, it will still go on and if they would decide to go full-blown, many of the people they would catch wouldn't have ever had the intent to look at or download this type of porn. If LimeWire was clean of this CP, people downloading adult content wouldn't have to worry about getting anything illegal.

I guess the safest way to get free porn is Yahoo or Google...and not the untrusted sharers on LimeWire. I definitely do not want to share this illegal material, I have deleted it immediately. Is there still hidden traces of it? Is there still the possibility of me sharing it to other people? I definitely want rid of all traces and it though, it is quite disgusting.

United States
In the United States, child pornography is prohibited under both federal and state laws with some state laws including more or less restrictive definitions compared with federal law. Under federal law, child pornography is defined as visual depiction of minors (i.e. under 18) engaged in a sex act such as intercourse, oral sex, or ************ as well as the lascivious depictions of the genitals. Various federal courts in the 1980s and 1990s have concluded that "lewd" or "lascivious" depiction of the genitals does not require the genitals to be uncovered. Thus, for example, a video of underage teenage girls dancing erotically, with multiple close-up shots of their covered genitals, can be considered child porn.

Questions arose during the 1990s as to whether depictions of mere nudity of minors - such as those found in some nudist magazines and videos - were legal under federal child porn laws. A court case in 1999 determined that mere nudity involving minors does not come under the federal definition of child porn, nor does it necessarily qualify as obscene, as the Supreme Court had ruled previously that mere nudity in and of itself does not constitute obscenity. This ruling does not specifically address state laws, which may differ. For example, broader definitions in some states have created controversy when parents were arrested for taking photographs in which their small children were depicted nude during usual daily activities, such as bathing.

Further complicating the issue in the U. S. is that there is no clear legal definition in federal or state law as to what exactly constitutes a "lewd" or "lascivious" exhibition. In addition, these terms are often to be interpreted according to "contemporary community standards." Defining the standards of a community where residents come from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and where moving from place to place is commonplace so that the nature of a community is continually changing, has proved extremely challenging.

would two underage teens sending nude pictures or videos to each other be against the law?

No it should not be!!

Who says the pictures of nude girls are porn... the Russian girls at some of the nudie sites are the sweetest chicks on the web, pornography is when these same sweet chicks are being sexually assaulted, or abused.

In many countries girls are routinely wed in their early teens, in much of Africa a woman will be a grandmother while still in her thirties... Jesus mother was said to have been married at fifteen, even as she was with child.


So what is wrong with a younger girl putting her photographic portfolio on the net, if she wants to!!


The problem I have is that the sites, and the web servers that have pictures of **** torture and murder, some of which have been running for years, are not prosecuted.



So where the hell is the FBI, and when are the studios that produce this kind of material gonna be raided and the webmasters prosecuted!!


Recently there were forty one prosecutions levied in this country (Australia,) against persons whose only crime was that they clicked onto a website.


That website was an entrapment site, that was only up for twelve hours and had three million hits!!




The latest is that every email and every website every person has visited, is to be kept on Government sponsored information banks for one year, whats gonna stop there being massive roundups and massive arrests, of ppl whose only crime is that they like pics of nude chicks!!

i recently gave my computer to the police in which they found 5 cp videos. I had not been sharing them to my knowledge, and i didnt know of them. I have a pornography addiction (diagnosed professionally) and there was around 400 videos and 600 pictures. Think of my addiction as a hoarding addiction to pornography. I only watched around 20 videos, the same ones, but would spend hours (around 4 a day) mass downloading.
Even though i do have a problem, which i am in counseling for, and the videos werent watched i believe they will still come at me full force.
Its been about 3 weeks since they had it, i contacted a lawyer and ready to fight.
If anyone has any tips or advice for me, please...

Well, where did you get these files from(I'm assuming through the Gnutella network, but I don't want to make an assumption)? If you were mass downloading, and never deleted any of the files you downloaded, Its extremely possible you could have downloaded these files and had been sharing them for quite some time. If you were using Limewire, It comes standard to share every file you download (unless you specifically tell it not too, most people don't know this). Alot of people have come across this stuff before using p2p, but delete it immediately, and for the most part, end up being fine. However, if you download this stuff, accidentaly or otherwise, and don't delete it, it would give authorites the right to believe that you were sharing these files on purpose, thus giving them the reason to go after you and confiscate your computer. Word to the wise, always check every file you download.

Did they by chance tell you how long they were monitoring those files you had on your computer?

As BCI said, it is highly likely that you were sharing these CP files because, unless your app is configured otherwise, LW will share all your downloads by default.

Also, there are so many files marked with false names it is quite easy to download what you think are ordinary files and on inspection find that they are something else.

I guess you will have to convince the authorities that you did not know you had these files and, I suspect, did not know you were sharing them as well.

Frost158 my first question is WHY? Something to do with the help you're receiving?

Your only recourse here is to tell the truth and vigoriously appose the fact that you KNOWINGLY downloaded the stuff. The volume you're talking about makes it pretty clear that this was a minute amount of your collection.

This is no time to skimp on lawyer fees.

Meanwhile be prepared for the worst our society is going through a freaky time on this subject and similar subjects. Today parents see a kidnapper behind every bush. If my memory serves me right there were perhaps 12 or 20 - I can't remember - [I]non-family[I] kidnappings in the US last year.

The keys are to strongly deny you had knowledge that there were underage people in the videos - that you never watched them - it was just part of a compulsive act to hoard the images for which you are now under treatment for. Make sure its emphasized that you willingly turned over the CP without altering its content. You had nothing to fear when doing so.

I wish I was on your jury - but my best advise is if you can plead this out to a misdemeanor do so. But of course listen to your attorney and push him to get the charges dropped if possible.

Have you searched the web for a forum for people who have been unjustly charged or overly punished (the lifetime registration as an example)? Do so and see what help is on-line.
