Downloading Porn

[kirk64]

I'm new to Kazzaa and to P2P file sharing and I was concerned what one should do if one notices that some of the downloaded pornagraphic material consist of subjects that clearly look under 18 of age. Who should I report this too. I stopped downloading porn altogether since I'm scared that I will get in trouble, even though it is not my intention to download pornographic material consisting of underage subjects.

What's the problem then?

Why do you care so much about what others are watching?

Reminds me of those homophobes who hate gays, even though they present no threat to them.

Just a thought. B)

You cant do noting about it and most porn video try to make it seem like the girl is under 18 when they just turned 18. Also when you do see some of them it becuse two teens got together they made a porn video. They had a fight or he is an asshole and he put it on the net. Other then that your just looking for and thats why you found some there. Oh and also in some contries its not illegal to have sex with minors (witch i think is terrible) and film it.

Whoa...don&#39;t you think that&#39;s kinda a big leap from "gays" to someone who&#39;s making/viewing/distributing kiddie porn? Although I do admit that for some it might not be that much of a gulf, which is completely assinine...but that&#39;s another story.

Perhaps he feels a sense of personal responsibility. Being concerned about the possibility that someone is being "exploited" and unable to defend themselves isn&#39;t always a bad thing. The issue may not be that others are watching it, but rather that the ones being watched are unaware of it and wouldn&#39;t want to be watched.

But you know...I could be way off base here.

Yeah when i was younger i felt bad when i thoght the porn wasent right. LOL

You can&#39;t do anything.

If you report, they will ask "What were you doing searching for porn anyway "

So why go through the trouble?

Let the person who gives a crap, deal with it

Porn is gud

just look 4 names like April Summers or Home Movie stuff like that...

I think it depends how young for most people, if they look 16 I wouldn&#39;t worry too much (probably are 18 anyway) as that is the legal age of consent in some countries. However if they are not even teenagers then yeh it&#39;s not right but not much you can do about it.

I agree that making such thing is a big difference and is wrong, but I don&#39;t think watching it is wrong. You watch people getting killed on CNN and Hollywood movies every day, can "kiddie porn" really be more wrong than that?

Oh my, what a hero. I wonder, since he really cares so much, whether he donates blood as well.

Personally I think he just has a bunch of kiddie porn on his HDD himself, and now he&#39;s playing a smartass around here. It&#39;s also true that if you&#39;re not looking or downloading such stuff, you wouldn&#39;t know it exists. It&#39;s well hidden and censored from public, so you _really_ have to be looking for it to find it, and type just the right search phrases in Kazaa or any P2P software to come up with any positive results on the subject.

Yes, that indeed is an issue. But the only way you can do anything about it, is if you know the person who&#39;s doing it in real life, so you can report him. But I doubt you&#39;d do that in that situation, since you&#39;d be too scared of what he&#39;d do to you when he comes back from jail. This is no sandbox. But of course, on the internet, every geek nowadays is a hero.

You could be, but the real question is, for how much longer are you going to be?

Nice sarcasm there. B)

Also, so there will be no misconceptions, girls are ready for sex from 13 and above. Below that they really are physically immature, but above that they might be only mentally immature, which is a big difference.

Nice to see a mature discussion on this subject, at least more mature than the last one.

It&#39;s well hidden and censored from public, so you _really_ have to be looking for it to find it, and type just the right search phrases in Kazaa or any P2P software to come up with any positive results on the subject.

I&#39;ll be willing to take you up on that, just type in porn on a search for image files and I bet that at least 1/3 of the stuff that comes up will be about children. Really it&#39;s not quite so hard to find the stuff. I just conducted a search on "porn" and of the 207 images that have come up so far a decent amount (30/40) are of child pornography.
