If you are a parent then why is it you don't seem to know what you have done wrong? Or is it that you just lack basic understanding of what you are actually doing.

1) Limewire is a P2P application and, as such, should not be used by children under 16 (maybe even 18) unsupervised.

2) P2P applications let you share whatever file(s) a P2P user wants to share, no matter how perverted or disgusting. It’s sometimes like someone letting you glimpse the darkest recesses of their mind.

3) P2P users/members are from all corners of the world, meaning they (or should I say "we") are governed by different laws, customs and belief systems. And obviously, there are some things you will not want your children to see.

4) No one owns or governs the P2P/Gnuttella network and so allows every user freedoms that do not exist anywhere else.

5) Now, because those freedoms can be abused it is your duty as a parent to protect your children from what is out there.

6) Finally, as a parent you should not encourage your kids to obtain or buy stolen or pirated goods.

As an aside, I, like most other forum members, do not need your infantile warnings, if you had warned of a "booby trapped file" then that would be a warning worth having. However, to say a file that "should not exist is really porn" is laughable and really has no intrinsic value.

Your children need protection not the members of this forum.
