Well, I'm a curious person, so I downloaded one to watch it. It was indeed real. Lol, I totally regret it. Yes, the police definetely need to get to work on it! They're going to give Gnutella a bad name!

Thing is, as much as we hate to admit it, they have the right to use our network. Although it IS the right of Limewire LLC. to restrict access to people with those files. They should put a message on the site telling people they don't allow it. It IS their program. Then they would have legal authority to remove the content.

Now Im intrigued about whats in the files......:p

Take it from me, if your against child porn (which isn't always child "abuse") don't watch them...

EDIT: I also recommend you add that keyword to your filter to help you stay clearer of that stuff. ***censored*** and ***censored*** are common ones according to what the guy told me.

Ok Im no longer intrigued it sounds illegal, what do you mean by not abuse????:confused:

Ya I totally agree with you about how they should not be allowed to share this stuff on the network, but I'm Canadian, and sadly, our laws and the charter of rights and freedoms (kinda like your 5 amendmants or something) does not allow any form of not allowing certain groups (including pedos) access to free services. It considers it descrimination. UNLESS that individual company is in another country (like the US, which limewire is in), then they can make their own rules. Doesn't LimeWire have a right to restrict access to people who abuse their network? :S

Also, don't worry about me getting caught with that one file. I deleted it right away and have reformatted my computer since, quite a few times actually.

If they know of this stuff Hobo why dont they report it, are these sickos untraceable or something....:(

I think Im over and out on this thread now its making me feel sick.

:( :(

Someone asked when is child porn not child abuse? Well, the reason I brought that up is because of an article about freedom of speech I saw a while ago. A few boys decided to make their own porn movie. It involved them as the camera crew (so there were no adults present). The FBI investigated the bandwidth used by them for these porn movies which they distributed over a p2p network for their "audience" as they called them, and their parents got in a **** load of trouble! It brought the issue of concentual filming of pornography into perspective. What if the kids want to make their own films, and they aren't even being touched by adults? The disturbing part about this is... where did they get the idea for their movies? :S

since when was a little porn illegal?

IMO Porn is a tough topic. Different countries, communities, cultures, even ISP's have different points of view & laws/regulations about it. Some ISP's stipulate in their conditions of use that porn is not allowed to be downlded (I've noticed that in some state's of USA which may or may not be related to local laws.) In some countries, it's legal to marry someone as young as 12 (I don't know about younger than that.)

But as for child porn, they are not considered to be fully mature, educated in all manners of speaking including morals/principles, etc. (They generally take their lead from adults.) But the question is who is sharing this material. Are they adults or children?!
AFAIK most western countries have in recent years been info sharing & have agreed cooperation in regards to hunting down pedophiles.

Limewire does not own or control the gnutella network. There's lots of gnutella client programs. Just look thru the forum sections for an example of some of these.

The original poster was inquiring about downlding porn & that it's become more difficult to find. It may have something to do with .wmv being filtered out. lol :D There's certainly lots of porn out there. And many a porn cd/dvd ripped to share just as other videos are. Yes there's lots of rubbish out there for the smaller files. Some are excerpts, some amatuer efforts, some or many are adverts from porn sites. Quality of Content on the Network (click on link) And no, I'm not a major porn downlder lol :D But I have checked some material out. :rolleyes:

Perhaps the original poster should apply some search terms similar to those who look for music albums to downld. Such terms as whole, complete, uncensored, AV, VCD, etc.
