This thread has many links that you can report them to. Just be careful who you report so you don't report someone innocent that just downloaded one or two files by mistake. And remember to note the time of the download since many of these perverted souls use dynamic IP's

How can you innocently download two or three files?.Okay i have been a victim of that but if it isn't what it says it is i shred it using shred it.I have reported the serious "collectors" by searching the hosts files and if they have loads i report there ip.Saying that there was a case recently here locally where a guy was using limewire to download child porn images and when the file was downloaded he was changing the name [right click rename] and the police found 300 files all called things like disney 1 or childrens movie this is evil people innocently searching for disney clips/trailers/cartoons are downloading them and finding child porn.I report them.Scum.

I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like that. Maybe because I don't usually download children's movies + I am a long time user of Limewire, so I know how to search pretty well.

I also use the Keyword Filter to filter words that imply anything KP related, so most of the results you are talking about never show up in any of my searches. Mislabeled files are off course not that easy to block, but I have been lucky so far. Also use Bitzi to see if the files have been rated good or bad before downloading.

I think people should report those perverts but still like I said make sure first that it in fact is someone "evil" and not some innocent person that has downloaded something of that nature by mistake.

Things like writing down the date and time of the download are very important, since dynamic IP's do change often. Also maybe taking a screen shot when you browse the host and other things like that. These things will not only prevent innocent people from getting in trouble, but will most likely help the authorities build a case against the offender

All good points,don't some other countries have different rules about this, and different age restrictions? Some eastern Countries just don't care !

The reason I didn't mention that was because I very much doubt that many people, that don't know how to avoid these files, will know what location the results come from just by looking at an IP. Or know the laws for that specific country. Also if they are using Proxy to connect through it will not be easy to decide where an IP originates. (For the normal Limewire user that is. For the autorities it is easier.)

It should be a thing for the authorities to decide, if they have any chance of pursuing these sickos or not. The fight against KP is multinational and they work together on it as far as I know.

I could careless. If someone wants to look at that stuff, more power to them! The internet is all about freedom -- freedom to look at whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want. Personally, I am not in to that sort of thing, but if someone else wants to look at it, who am I to tell them not to? And don't let anyone BS you about the "ability" of law enforcement to find someone's IP address. If you use TOR, there is no way in hell that anyone can find you. There are many other similar such services as well. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression means not just seeing or hearing "good things", but also "bad things" or things that you might disagree with. No one forces you to look at this crap. I know that I don't like it, so I don't look at it. That is my free choice.

Then just one question. Where does the kids freedom to live a normal life come in ?

I think that people can have too much freedom. There should be a limit there somewhere. A good place to put it would be at childporn, instructions on how to make torrorist bombs and people getting their heads cut off by warcriminals

wow..funny thing...I have tomorrow off...I think I'm gonna take a little drive south of my house to San Antonio and beat the sh!t out of you, then take a broom stick, shoot some 16d hot dipped galvanized nails into it, bend them back at an angle, then dip that end in a jar of chunky peanut butter, soak the bristles in gasoline...then..ah yes, THEN, I'm gonna shove it up yur a§§ and light the bristles on fire...and while I'm at it, I'm gonna videotape it, convert the file to XviD and release it on the network....

and yeah, you fvcking likely pedo, I have called the San Antonio police department @ (210)207-7273 and given them yur IP addy (you moron) so that they keep a close eye on your sorry a§§....

Most people today seem to give a great deal of thought to their personal choice without a great deal of thought to the responsibilities of that freedom or the choices...
1) If Person A is changing the names of files to imitate something more innocent, they are trying to force Person X to see at least SOME things that are not desired. So at least some of their free choice is being taken away unless they "fight back" with technology. 2) One person right to swing their arms stops at another persons face. Unless you have some pretty sophisticated software, you actually have to commit the acts depicted to record them. Child pornography is illegal in most nations (if not all). So some children are being forced into activities unnatural for their age. Is it right to turn your back on evidence of a crime because it is not something you would do or enjoy seeing. I guess you're right it is all personal choice. I think you probably care more than you believe.

Your smiley just about sums it up. Your post makes me want to puke. For there to be child porn for people to 'have the freedom to watch' there has to be a child abused to make that porn. Have you ever thought of that?? I'm a single 30's male, so yeah I have a bit of regular porn on my HD but this child porn is unconsionable an not condonable in any way. If you're willing to say what you have in public I have serious concerns about your true stance on child pornography.
