Limewire is open source. You're free to add these types of things to your own version. But start bringing in what you're suggesting, then it's auto-report to RIAA for music copyright infringement, MPIA for movie copyright, etc. You'd destroy the merits of a very good program. Already LW is under pressure & brought in the licensing warning option. Enough is enough. This is not a police state where I live & am not into dictatoral environments. Perhaps you are. What if someone downlds a setchy file by mistake but it sits in their share for days or weeks because they hadn't got around to checking it. That person could find themselves convicted as a Pedophile despite their total opposition to Pedophilia. Such an option will bring in more such options & before you know it ... It'd be like an auto booking system on your car. You momentarily pass the speed limit by 3 km/h or 3 M/h whilst passing a car or coming over a large hill & you get an automatic ticket (even if you were several ticks below the speed limit as you were going up the hill). lol What's the world coming to.
Oh don't forget you can block hosts. So if you find such a person (if they have multiple such files & are obviously collecting & sharing that type of topic), then you can report & block them.
