Child rape pics on teens' site

By ANTHONY FRANCE

Published: 25 Sep 2008

PAEDOPHILES have allegedly hijacked one of the web’s most popular
sites to distribute MILLIONS of vile child-rape images.

Countless teenagers use LimeWire to share songs, videos and photos.

But cops from Scotland Yard’s Obscene Publications Unit have been
monitoring the abuse of the website by UK paedos — and have swooped on
suspects in a series of raids.

Limewire is a teen website?? I wonder whether there are police who
also believe that to be the case, or only the thicko Sun journalist.

Who was the poster on this newsgroup who was insisting that people who
download MP3 songs are fully aware of how Limewire works, what P2P
filesharing is, and all the implications thereof?

He now has proof that neither the reporter nor anyone who vetted the
article knows the difference between a website and P2P filesharing
applications.

P2P activity is simple for *anyone* to monitor without needing any
special powers of access or equipment. Either set up a honeytrap that
offers illegal images and note the IP of people who download the
images from the honeytrap, or search for and download such images on
the P2P network and note the IP addresses from which the file
fragments are being uploaded.

Of course, doing either of the above activities would be illegal in
itself unless the person doing it has a valid reason that is permitted
by law (of which crime detection is one).


Whatever happened to that 'sneaky' version of p2p that started up a few years ago.

If you recall, your stash of porn, music whatever was automatically placed in someone elses share directory, encrpted so that that person would be unaware whether it was porn or music or whatever.
Likewise, theirs might end up in your share.

Downloads would be then routed via several other users so that the d/l er would not know where the actual material was, the only ip they would see was the last tansfer station. The storer would not know what was sent, nor where it went.

Kind of a double blind exchange.


I binned it at the time because I thought 'it'll be used only for C porn, and I'll be muppet with it all on my drive when it all fucks up'

But it might be due for a revisit, because the record co suing attempts seem to make it a good idea now?
