During the hearing, a committee staffer showed how easy it is to access pornographic images. The staffer performed a Google search to reach Kazaa, then once on Kazaa searched for Britney Spears. Hundreds of downloadable files then appeared on the screen.

Uh, why Britney Spears? Surely, there's more to pr0n than bad fakes of a celebrity.

who says that all of the files were porn? there is such a thing as a non-pornographic image of Britney Spears...

And it might not be news to any of us on Poly, but we aren't the target audience. It's the computer-illiterate, I-want-AOL-to-hold-my-hand-while-I'm-online, I-think-Junior's-a-hacker-because-he's-on-the-web people who they're after.

Unless we are talking about the types that block out MTV and MM on their cable because of the sinfulness, whom are they trying to fearmonger with pics of Britney Spears?

What surprised me is:

his work has shown that at federal government agencies there are people who spend time at work downloading porn.

How stupid would you be to DL p0rn at work. Especially if you are working for the gov't. (Well, they could always say that was for investigational purposes... )

uh....duh. Even I knew you could d/l naughty-ness from these file-swapping sites.

And I don't know that much about comps. But I know enough to get by.

I've heard there's recently been trading in mp3's, too. Where will it end?

I heard it's possible to download drugs from Kazaa too. And then there is this new p2p-proggie that lets you download all these mp3s, but they send lots of subliminal messages that makes your whole family terrorist supporter. It's impossible to notice, it's just that good.

Also there is this new e-mail program, Outlook Express, that pedophiles use to communicate with each other. They like it because it's fast and convinient. They also trade kiddie pr0n attaching files fetched from secret pedophile pages, coded with HTML, the new tool for hackers and such. They lurk their underaged victims in chat rooms, trying to lure them to satisfy their sick fantasies and it's all possible because of Logitechs new keyboards that are so easy to use, even your kids can use it and get molested by pedophiles!

Survey says that most rapists use computers, and internet. It also says most pedophiles uses internet for communicating each other since former partner in crime, phones, are coming obsolete for this.

Research has revealed, that there is close relations with pedophiles and p2p programs.. Files... pedoPhiles... that can't be just a coincidence..

the complicated syntax needed to reach such hacker websites as www.kazaa.com are incomprehensible to mere mortal men and need to be found using google.
