i browse folks who download from me and I wound up there as he/she was downloading a file

you weren't 'there'...you totally misstated your concept...

you can report that IP address here: CyberTipline

you should log the time/date of the incident so that they may properly investigate...it also helps to take a screenshot of what is on your screen (i.e. their shared items)...

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!!

Yes (in the US).

Film is forever. Remember Miss America returning her crown after her earlier photos appeared in Penthouse?
The decision to pose nude should not be taken lightly, especially in a society where photos may prove detrimental to one's career. It is one of the many decisions that must not be made by an immature person. The cute chick at age 16 may find that she has a talent for teaching at age 24. And no telling how her future spouse would feel about those photos.

Something tells me that those Russian girls you mention are not well-compensated for their modeling. And I see no connection between young grandmothers and photos of underage girls.

I suppose you would be proud to have your friends see how hot your mom was at 16.

Not necessarily changes the filename, but you end up with a file of same file-hash (identical file content) but with another name, perhaps the original name. So the original file chosen to download was probably a masked file with a less suspicious file name. Once you've been using gnutella network for quite a while you will notice files you download sometimes have a different filename to the one you actually chose to download. Perhaps this is still good because you end up with what you want, else you end up with something else because it was a poor choice in the beginning.

As old as the post is, Leeware's post here is quite relevant now: Quality of Content on the Network

If you wish to filter it all out ... or much of it, see Direct instructions to eliminate porn & other marketing junk from results

I would use this for Music etc, and maybe follow a lnk to FoxPro or X Hamster for your Porn.

You'll find me there too.... xxxx

Well, after being bugged to return to Limewire and Gnut. Forums I'll post again. Previously, I tried to get Limewire to ban and delete underage porn. It is sick, sick, sick. I can't, like most people who post on this issue, believe there are adults who would subject a child to these sorts of things. The moderators tended to defend the pedos under the banner of freedom of speech, or, that if they start banning certain people, then it will lead to banning other people on other issues. I still believe pedos should be banned and p2p, especially Limewire, and has the tools to do it. Now, the Canadian gov. has come up with the bright idea of proposing legis. requiring YOUR server (the place you subscribe for your internet connection) to report all subscribers' IP addresses downloading KP. They will probably forward all subscribers who download even regular, good and healthy porn. For those in other countries, don't cloak yourself in your flag, thinking it won't happen in your country.
Things we can do to stop child porn on the net: don't download anything that is labelled (tagged: KP,PtHC...);use your 'filter' to filter out words such as e.g. '10yr', '9 yr' '11 yr old' ...; block users who have pedo-files; never save, and immediately delete all such files; delete, shred, dump... browsing, cookies history.Remember, you can't trust p2p,limewire, law enforcement, judges or the courts, to bring any sense to this issue. It is up to you, not them. Perhaps, until the problem is resolved, don't download any porn.

LimeWire still can't ban child porn. The people who share it willingly will just change the files minimally and the ban won't work anymore.

In gnutellaforums, everyone who talks about where to find childporn is banned as soon as a moderator sees the post.

(but I can believe that there are adults who would harm children that way. If there weren't these sick people, then child porn would simply not exist.)

What Phex does to keep child porn from spreading is having a "nasty file filter" which is on by default and hides files with keywords which suggest that the file contains child porn. Luckily a brave user (who wants to stay anonymous) supplied us with a list of keywords to ban.

But you won't ever be able to completely "resolve" the issue without curing society, which means that society must stop destroying people psychically to the extend that these people feel the need to harm children to keep their own damaged psyche from breeaking. Sadly our world currently goes into the opposite direction and produces more and more psychically broken people.

Every war, every famine, every mobbing in class and every destruction of jobs creates psychically injured people, and a tiny minority of these break down so far that they harm children sexually to feel strong.

Besides: Many more people harm children in nonsexual ways. And often these are the religious "good guys" who want to impose their morals on the children. That's abuse, too, and sadly it's still tolerated and even supported by many.

Aquatik above has summed up what I've been saying all along. The abusers are not the ones who accidently download this content.

First don't download anything labeled as such.

Second preview anything you download. If its suspicious stop the download.

Get a free shredder from Download.com and shred any file and preview you have downloaded that is suspect.

That alone is enough to do it. Remember the law says thou shalt not [B]possess[B]. If you don't got it you don't got it. You don't possess it.

Go ahead and clear your cookies and browse history. Its easy enough to learn how. Its not necessary but for peace of mind do it if you want.

I'll guarantee this that if Canada passes laws making it illegal to download they will catch some poor ******* probably a high school kid who doesn't know what he's doing. This kid will have his life ruined because he downloaded a picture of what he could have seen in person by dating the right girl. He will be persecuted, jailed, registered and fined. This will continue until some big-wig kid gets caught and the system is brought to its senses.

The Mafia was beaten somewhat into submission not by arresting the guys highjacking trucks but by putting the Godfathers in jail for tax evasion, corruption of public officials and conspiracy. Law enforcement money is better spent on finding the guy behind the camera. They've done it and they can do it again. In fact they're trying to do it right now.

Once Limewire is controlled EVERYTHING on it will be controlled.

I buy the Pro to help keep their defense fund full.
