ok i need some help..five days ago i downloadded a clip on LW of id say two young year old kids ingaging in sexual acts...it was labled as 16 year old kids..as soon as i realized that what i was doing was illegal i deleted it and it was never shared...i deleted it just minutes after it was done downloading...i also downloaded a couple videos that had names liek 16yo and 17yo...ect..but none of those where actual...well you know...i am 16 years old..i have a lot going for me, im not one of those weird kids i have a lot of freinds and i dont know im just freaking out. i am paranoid about the police coming to my house and taking my computer, finding something..even though i deleted limewire..and used history sweep to wash my hardrive..even though i know a lot of the stuff is recoverable. thats not even the poiint..i dont want the cops coming to my house..do you guys think its going to happen...like seriously i freak out every time i see a police car in my neighboorhood..and how long till you think im in the clear and dont need to worry about this anymore. all i read on this forum is stories about guys accidently downloading one or two clips and getting sent to jail..i know i prolly wont go to jail but i dont want the cops coming to my house and embarrising me and my parents...any help?

im sorry it wasnt of year old kids it was of *16 year old kids.

Don't believe those stories. They are just stories.

you really think so? think im good?

If you do see it report it if your not sure of the ages don't download it and if you did delete immediately that way your sure not to get caught with it.

My son was arrested in VT while he was in college and we go to court Mar. 20th for the arraignment. He did as many of you have talked about-he typed in porn and got alot of downloads and just downloaded them all wihput checking to see what they were and many of them were mistitled. Somehow those doenloads got shared to Itunes and someone from his school got them and turned him in. He didn't even know what he had downloaded and they arrested him. He had never been in trouble in his life now he is being treated like a sexual predator and who know what will happen. His life may be ruined-Who is going to go after Limewire and these websites that are aloowing this to happen. I don't get it-We go after the drug kingpins but not the cp ones. The law is proscuting the kids that get caught up in the filth without even knowing what is happening. Something has to be done before many of you go to jail for innocently thinking you are searching for porn-Maybe it should go back to like it was in my day where Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler were the porn rescources.

Does that make sense that the files could be shared through ITunes without someone knowing?
Thanks for any comments.

i have just downloaded [edit] only to find it was a hard core porno

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.

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.
