For instance, I've just located a naughty guy sharing a file named "kiddy porn..." (2MB or so).
I can see this guy's IP address is *4.165.3*.6*
I went to http://www.arin.net/whois/ and saerch for this IP address.
I got an address of a college (both mailing address and an e-mail address) located in East coast of US.
So, from this, I can say that this guy is using a college network to share the file. Most likely, the college will not like to have this kind of activity under their nose. All I need to do is to notify the college the exact IP address which I found (i.e. *4.165.3*.6*), and the content of what this user was sharing. The administrater can do the rest. I don't need to know who this guy was. The college will handle him/her appropriately.

Of course, not every IP addresses are disclosed. Also if the user is using a dial-up system, it'll be harder to locate (although you will still get the provider).

What are you trying to do? Playing Gnutella Nazi, searching for people who share what appears to be child porn?

Do you actually download the files and watch them to verify it is really child porn? If you do, I bet you've seen a lot of it, you pervert!

I''m just tyrying to have some fun.
Who cares if it's really CP or not (you might, I don't).

Just thought this might be an answers to the good people who want some kind of solution to the widespreading distribution of cp (or what SEEMS to be so, lol).

Do I dl and check? I've better things to do. So I guess I'm not a pervert.

Happy sharing.

"Can someone create a 'bot that will roam the gnutella network and replace all child porn with a picture of me in my underwear picking lint out of my navel? "


Now that is a scary thought........

If I can share illegal music why shoudn't I share child porn ?

Just for the record, we are sharing legal music illegaly (oops!). Child porn is illegal by definition. Doesn't make us saints, but there's a subtle difference, don't you think?

Or are you actually sharing illegal music? What kind of music is that (no, don't answer, this is just a rhetorical question)?

Are you one of those people who defends their opinions by pointing out technicalities of others people's posts ?
If yes , I shall waiste my time somewhere else .

No, I was politely pointing out that you got things confused. You were supposed to figure that out (Besides I'm not defending anyone's opinion).

File sharers aren't too bothered about the legal accusations made by RIAA and the like for different reasons (mostly because they think record companies are charging way too much for a CD). Some actually believe that the accusations would not hold. Others take this as a form of "sampling". For them, file sharing is still a grey area, legally speaking.

Now, child pornography is an established crime; period.

So there you go, I didn't think I needed to spell it out, but hope you see the point now.

Besides, for many of us, child porn is distasteful anyway.

OK , good ...
