News:

"The U.S. Congress is targeting peer-to-peer networks again--and this time politicians aren't fretting over music and software piracy. A pair of government reports scheduled to be released at a hearing on Thursday warn that file-swapping networks are exploding with pornography--much of which is legal, and some of which is not."

Bastards! I don't care about MP3s, I can buy my CDs, but where am I going to get the legal, high-quality pr0n that Kazaa feeds me on nightly basis?! Nooooo 😉
Is nothing sacred anymore?!

Congress cracks down on P2P porn
 
As long as they do not ban Porn that you can also see in magazines sold in stores...

If they do, I will argue. I am not a pron viewer at all (Happily Married) but I do believe it is a persons right to view what they want, when they want. As long as it is in good taste and not illegal to sell in stores....
 
It's a problem using those programs without the filters.

Mine goes something like this :

hacking, britney, gay,preteen, tolkien, manga,lolita, lolitas, preteens, anime, pokemon, potter, rape, forced, tcp/ip
 
The GAO used two techniques to identify pornography: evaluating file names and viewing the actual image files. "We used 12 keywords known to be associated with child pornography on the Internet to search for child pornography image files," wrote Linda Koontz, director of information management issues for the GAO. "We identified 1,286 items, each with a title and file name, determining that 543 (about 42 percent) were associated with child pornography images. Of the remaining, 34 percent were classified as adult pornography and 24 percent as non-pornographic."

Using this technique, GAO did not open the image files, which means that mistitled images could be erroneously classified. The GAO's auditors chose not to open them because under federal law, it is illegal to knowingly possess child pornography. The GAO did not disclose which 12 keywords its auditors typed in, except to say they were supplied by law enforcement.

Ok, how the heck do you "classify" images if you can't see them. They need to face the music: someone has to look at them if they want to get something useful out of this search.

That's what I was thinking, but then they'd be hypocrites for having the same thing they want to get rid of...

I don't think simple file renaming will do the trick.
They can (well, I can, anyway) analyze the file to see if it's an image or if it's a compressed file that contain an image or a video. With a lot more work, you can do some mad AI and see if the pic contains pr0n (skin tones, bewbies, penii).
 
What is with all of the upswing in p0rn media these days?? seems like there are alot more stories about p0rn, illegal and legal than ever?

Probably because you don't have to deal anymore with a live salesperson to get all sorts of hardcore smut.

I am not just talking about stuff like this though, look at the number of celebs who are getting caught with p0rn and it is made publicly (wasn't the guy from Ferris Bueller just caught, Mr. Rooney or something)...

is there some new found excitement in illegal p0rn now or has it always been an issue and the media/police just didn't care??

but I do agree, it is way too easy to get illegal or boarderline p0rn now....heck anyone with a web cam or digi cam can become a "superstar".....
