Underage Nudity Being Shared On The Gnutella Network - Porn and Laws

Words fail me in expressing how very, very disappointed I am that no one, especially OCca, picked up on the above !!!

Perhaps it is because said SNA is the international prefix for good old
John Wayne International Airport (Love the 'International' bit !)

Nah !!! That can't be the reason.

Must be because any community that is so disturbed as to name an airport after a d00d that was ashamed of his real name is also, rightly so, perhaps ashamed of itself !?

I mean, who wants to park their illicit-gotten-gains G7 at
Marion Michael Morrison 'International' Airport ???


er, It's also kinda hard to believe in some ugly right-wing psycho named Marion,eh ?...

Even if he was fabricated into being Saint John of Dumfukistan.



Which brings me to the closer of this delightful post in this totally useless and grossly misnamed thread...

OCca, there's a lot of the californica in you and the majority of your posts make it obvious that you are one of the untold millions of sit-in-zens of The People's Imperialistic Kleptocracy Of Dumfukistan who have learned to write before they can read.

Kiss Kiss
 
Not necessarily changes the filename, but you end up with a file of same file-hash (identical file content) but with another name, perhaps the original name. So the original file chosen to download was probably a masked file with a less suspicious file name. Once you've been using gnutella network for quite a while you will notice files you download sometimes have a different filename to the one you actually chose to download. Perhaps this is still good because you end up with what you want, else you end up with something else because it was a poor choice in the beginning.

As old as the post is, Leeware's post here is quite relevant now: Quality of Content on the Network

If you wish to filter it all out ... or much of it, see Direct instructions to eliminate porn & other marketing junk from results
 
Since you're 17, I suggest you go for older women, or men, perhaps as old as 20! (Some day you'll think that's funny.)

BTW, please don't let your school send you out into the world until you learn the difference between righting and writing. I mean no disrespect. As it seems that no one knows how to spell nowadays, you will do very well in the future if you learn that skill.
 
Perhaps Germany has always been an anomaly with the
law. Different mindset, I guess, where people and their
rights count for nothing before the almighty State.

Everywhere else, what I said is quite accurate. The rest of
don't live in a surveillance society where tips are enough to
get things like that to happen, not even if a cop claims to
believe the tipster. In the real world, a police officer has to
swear that he can corroborate his suspicions with probable
cause before any judge will grant a warrant to arrest or
search. That, by definition, means he has seen a crime in
progress or gathered evidence, not that he believed the
word of someone else. If Germany suffers from having a
much lower standard, that's too bad for you, but I suggest
you ask an experienced officer about it before you continue
to paint such a backward picture of law enforcement in your
country. Remember, even in Germany or any other EU
nation, the police and courts know the difference between
reasonable suspicion and probable cause. It's time you
learned it too.

It still doesn't matter if downloading is illegal or not in
Germany. Accessing or possessing such files is illegal
virtually everywhere but those who accidentally downloaded
and deleted such files are still in no greater danger because
of it, since there is still no possibility of prosecution if
they do not share the file and simply delete it, proving their
innocence by action, and having never actually created any
evidence against themselves.

The download mesh is not enough to call probable cause.
That's still just another uncorroborated tip or lead which
they would have to follow up on to get a shared file list.
Since an accidental downloader is not actively sharing the
file, any browse host will not have the suspect file in it and
more importantly will not show the usual suspect pattern of
many more such files, therefore that lead will always be
discarded in favour of real suspects with real collections of
such files.

In addition, even if they had an IP address to look at, any
broad search for such files will never include them as a
source, even if the police managed to connect to them as a
peer. In fact, the lack of response to the files they were
looking for would be proof of innocence as far as an
investigator is concerned, and he or she will move on to the
many suspects for which they actually do have large
quantities of evidence.

Please be more careful what you tell unsuspecting users,
especially since you won't be the one running into problems
from your info, but others might pay for your carelessness.
You are so intent on scaring people unnecessarily over a
theoretical danger which you hold dear but in fact has never
actually occurred, or if it has was so rare and so quickly
dismissed that it may as well have never happened at all.
What you are saying is, in effect, that people's lives can be
totally ruined by random chance simply because they used
Phex, LimeWire or any other P2P to download anything at
all. Do you really want to scare people away from P2P so
much?
 
Haha..Betty Boop..that made my day..lol.

Anyways, I really do hope that this kid is full of it..i really do hope they wouldnt go after someone with so little evidence(calling someone a peadophile is a big deal, not something that i would imagine anyone would do so in a manner of assumption)..do you think it's possible that he maybe searched for it out of curiosity, downloaded a few videos, saw them, delelted them, never did it again, but that was all it took? I know they usually catch people sharing the files, but could it be possible that they knew he searched for it and downloaded it? I havent seen any case where they went after someone because they saw they were searching for it, but hey you never know..
 
Sorry that I saw this only now: The police can and will come straight to your door.

Why should they try to download from you, when they can just retrace your IP address to you and grab your computer?

Your computer holds far better evidence of your downloads than any of their searches could show.

The only reasons why they shouldn't do this, are because the police people involved might think you a small fish just like their own children, downloading some music off the net and still buying CDs of their favourite artists.

And because they don't have unlimited resources, and have far better ways to spend their time than trying to catch music pirates. For example catching murderers, drug dealers and similar.
 
That sounds an awful lot like superstition. Superspies from the NSA are not going to
step in on every little case and save the day. People who download a single file by
accident are never going to warrant the huge expense of an attempt, and such
attempts frequently fail if secure deletion software is used.

Besides, people who collect illegal porn apparently collect a lot of it and don't delete
it, so the point is effectively moot. The guys who get caught always have a lot of it,
so imaginary super-CSI wizardry isn't necessary.
 
"but you will be seen as a download candidate by people who also download the file"...

OK...that is close enough to what I was saying...of course if one has sharing disabled then they cannot be a true source for the file, but they still show up as apparently being one!....

I didn't pay exact attention to that project going on in New Jersey (the one that got blown out of the water by the whole MediaDefender setch), but I think that all they were doing is looking for people sharing files with a known hash value, and that was all that was needed to start proceedings against the offender....
 
I know this threads been dead awhile but I did a study on some of the .jpg files that where labeled as naked teens, underage or child porn. I found that most of them where either naked grown woman, jokes images that showed a random picture that said ha ha you pervert on them or viruses. only 12 out of over 40 files had young naked teens in them most of which where the same pic but just labled different. and there where several pics of teens that had cloths on and where posted in a sexy way.
Oh and I got several files that when you clicked delete it wouldn't delete and had for options had only only open, preview, send to, open with and cut and copy Of cource I new they where a virus because when I viewed it with paintshop pro under thumbnails it had a blank image. So I clicked cut on the folder, then paste in anouther folder and then opened the folder but not the file again and saw it had this pic. I then exited the folder clicked cut then I pasted it into the deletion bin and clicked delete and it was gone.
 
I suggest you buy it d00d....

read through this thread and you will notice is used the metaphor of cross talk on a vinyl record....

and I also stated that our (US) military planes have algorithms for both deletion and physical destruction of drives...

finally...Guttman recently admitted that his algorithm for data overwritting is not totally fool proof...

as Urs has stated, the only secure way to delete the data is to physically destroy the HDD...and I do mean destroy...completely...tiny, tiny, little pieces....
 
Jane, it is possible to leave iTunes open and sharing a download folder. This
makes it possible to inadvertently share everything that was downloaded by
accident as well as by choice.

I always advise people not to share the downloads folder at all because not
only are you automatically sharing stuff before you get a chance to check it
for viruses, worms and contraband like illegal porn, but you may also be
infringing on copyrights if somebody comes along later and uploads some of
the perfectly legal files you downloaded.

Don't worry about the illegal web sites that distribute underage porn. They
are always found, no matter where in the world they try to hide, and the
police in all countries are always willing to work together to arrest whole gangs
of these criminals and their customers whenever and wherever they are found.

LimeWire, on the other hand, is not a web site or porn distributor. It is just a
piece of software people use to share and explore for whatever they want,
and it has no control over what people do. One may as well blame Internet
Explorer too.
 
Mat, I really must speak plainly.

I really hope you really mean what you say. Stick to bowling until you are ready
to take responsibility for not only yourself, but your girl and your eventual
oRABpring as well. That's where your heart will live for the rest of your life.

Good luck, kiddo.
 
As for the rest of you ( and sageecl ), you should always
be in control of what you share.

Some P2P applications share the downloads folder by
default, but you can easily change that. It has been a
longstanding problem that some junk files and worms
spread easily simply because so many people are sharing
their downloads without first checking what they actually
have.

Also, don't forget to check the advanced settings for sharing
of partial files, which enables your software to share bits
and pieces of your downloads even before they are
complete files on your own disk. Most software comes with
this enabled by default too.

If you take care of these two details there's no way you can
ever be sued or charged for sharing anything you didn't
intend to share.
