let's look at the second concept in comparison to prostitution stings..you're driving down the drag and see a hot one on the side of the road...YOU stop and ask what's the going rate...you proceed to get arrested for solicitation...that is quite legal and not considered entrapment because YOU initiated the 'sale'...as a note your first hint should have been the 'hot one'...the same concept will apply to the fake cp sites...if you surf for pron you will most likely come across some of them...seems to me you have 2 simple choices...ignore them (which usually takes the clearing out of your cookies and flash player cookies to get yourself away from the linking process amongst those sites) or report their urls to the appropriate people...when I used to surf pron I would report them..if YOU make the choice to browse in them your IP will probably be tagged and an eye will be kept upon you...if you join one, YOU sunk your own boat... |
Agreed, if you go there, you run the risk, and it serves you right. Sickening.
I do a LOT of data recovery and computer repairs at home, just as a hobby. While I don't go through peoples files when I recover them, I often see porn titles, and that's no problem (I have enough of it myself
). I'm just VERY glad I've never come across any KP, so I've not had to face the reporting issue. The ONLY issue I have, lately, is that a LOT of fake files are out there, that could innocently be downloaded. It's happened to me, until I got wise...and although it WASN'T kp, it still had something about it in the title. I'm sure you've all seen them....it'll be something like this "Frat party in the woods, extreme action.mpg"...and then a sh** load of spaces followed by the usual references to kp. Now, if like me you don't have that divider drawn wayyyyyyy across to the right, you might not see the crap after the spaces, and go ahead and d/l it. Once you do that, guess what...the title is on your HD, unless you do a complete overwrite. Now, my issue comes here....I may find a title like that in the future on someones drive, without being able to recover enough of the actual footage to tell what it is.....do I report it and possibly completely RUIN someones life for an innocent mistake, or do I give the benefit of the doubt, not report it, and then wonder if I've let a p*** go free?
This is part of the reason I don't inspect the content file names (apart from privacy issues)...I'm not interested in finding out what I would do.
Just my 2cents.
Oh, and while we're on the subject .....what about your IP provider? I don't know enough about how p2p works (I have to read up more, can you tell?...I was using the FAKE shareaza until a few days ago!)....I DO know they can detect the handshakes or something between client/peers/hosts, and consequently block or throttle your connection, but what about the content you are downloading? Is there any way for them to tell? If so, why are they not getting in on it and reporting all these kp hosters and downloaders? It wouldn't be hard for them to search, surely?
