Where are the parental Controls on LimeWire????? If it's really so great, shouldn't it have parental controls for households who happeen to have children???? Most homes do have kids, who are these programers???

yeah i agree that some songs and movies are a bit profane but
isnt downloading lime wire illegal too so why would you show this to your kids

Dear Caren

If you are a parent then YOU should control your kids, not LW programmers.

I suggest to update your kids to patch level 18 or higher so that they're responsible and can take care of themselves.

Downloading Lime Wire is not illegal.

Parental controls
 

I agree that there should be parental controls. Downloading music is great, but you can also download videos of porn. As a parent, I can prevent my kids from visiting certain websites, but can't prevent them from downloading of porn off limewire. People with kids shouldn't be able to enjoy music???

Do you have knives or alcohol at home? Can your kids reach those?

Dear Libragirl188213

You say you can't stop you kids downloading porn, the mere fact that you know they're doing it shows that you could stop them if you wanted to.

Password protect your PC and only let the kids use it when you are there, simple enough to do and it puts you in charge.

Re: Parental Controls
 

You make the assumption that p2p is suitable for kids - why?

Do some reading and thinking about P2P before deciding if it's for your kids. In short educate yourself about it then your kids.

Theres a way to do that! Go to Tools>Then Options>Then Filters>Then Keywords and click Ignore Adult content! I hope that helps!

LimeWire is not for children. No matter what kind of parental controls you add to the software:
1) Every 13 year-old will find ways of circumventing it.
2) No filter will be good enough to keep kids from obtaining material they shouldn't have access to.

How about this problem...I'm 18 and I download music like the rest of you. My problem is my dad is downloading porn. I hate it being on my computer. I really wish there was a parental control that I could put on there to use against my dad. It is a family computer and I dont think that the rest of us need to be involved in that.

Parents???
 

Dear ibchillin05

As mentioned before, we have had parents that say they want facilities to protect their children but what protection do you give to children with irresponsible parents?

Sorry ibchillin05, until you can move out and start your own home you are well and truly stuck.

ibchillin05 - Greetings


On a pc shared by adults and assuming you old-man's pornography is content-legal what is the problem? Do you really have the right to censor and block his activities any more than he would with your taste in music?

You could set up seperate user accounts if it's an XP system. Then neither of you would offend the other with his/her content.

Live with it. I dont see whats wrong with porn if it doesnt have viruses or anything. It a natural thing and you cant stop people from doing it.
