Sleepless-
While I'm as guilty as the next "illeagal file downloader", I would be totally willing to give that up if it could possibly protect the dignity and sanity of an innocent soul.
I realize I sound like a bit of a bleeding heart, but realize this: If those files are really what they say they are, then this is a much bigger and more painful issue than any music file sharing I can think of.
This is not okay in my mind, and if it's okay in yours, I suggest you rethink your frame of mind.
My apologies for my forthrightness; it's a subject I feel strongly about.

And thank you, Lord of the Rings, for your suggestion, but this is not exactly what I was hoping for. You see, this will only stop ME from seeing them- that's not what I want. I want them GONE. I'm sorry, but it's not for my sake, it's for the possible victims here.

Hi...

You will be able to find numerous references pertaining to this subject spread throughtout these Gnutella Forums...

One point that must be emphasized is basic and is mentioned elsewhere...

Simply that, when pursuing others for the offense of sharing illegal material it is not only probable but highly likely that the vast majority of people either busted or harassed will be totally innocent AND totally unaware that they were in any way involved in sharing said material.
The issues are not as clear as one may wish.

Know anything about 'zombie' problems ?
Do you share incomplete (partial or pending) downloads ?
Do you share from your DownLoads folder without vetting (100%) EVERY second of sounds or images or words in eBooks BEFORE allowing a file to be shared ?
Do you ?

YOU could be charged with crimes because of any of the above three... And the above three are nothing... they're merely a few examples of how innocents are charged.

No one here is promoting so-called illegal porn...
Absolutely to the contrary.

As I said, my apologies for my forthrightness, I'm sorry if I came off as rude or demanding.
I do not make any folders on my computer available for download, because I have a slow connection, AND for privacy. While I don't have anything remotely like what I am protesting about, I would still rather keep my computer MY computer.
I am sorry if I have been the cause of this projecting into a heated argument, I only would like something done, if remotely possible.

Hey !!!

Enough of this apology stuff, OK ?

Absolutely no need... Nothing I can see that could possibly merit an apology !

Keep kicking !

p.s. I have, currently, a list of over 30 'organisations', including a special Interpol site, which may be appropriate for the purposes of reporting 'illegal' material...

I have mulled over the posting of these links within these forums for over 2 years... I still think that by doing so I would, in fact, harm more people than would benefit.
