Joe Biden (D-Del.) said he was under the impression it's "pretty easy to pick out the person engaged in either transmitting or downloading violent scenes of rape, molestation" simply by looking at file names. He urged use of those techniques by investigators to help nab the most egregious offenders. 
Shame it doesn't work for "todays_winning_lottery_numbers.doc" I keep in my "You're_FARKIN_kidding_right" folder.  |

Actually, kiddie porn sickos are using P2P to transfer pics and videos around to each other.
See an article from 2003! Yes, that long ago so the problem is going to get huge by now. »www.internetnews.com/bus-news/ar···/2109061
Here's a guy that went to jail using P2P for it: »www.p2pnet.net/story/13086

Won't someone please think of the encryption!?! Wonder what the (law enforcement)geniuses will do when all the p2p traffic is encrypted? Just assume everyone is terrorist, pedophile, pirate? Oh wait they do that already.
Next thing you know the FBI will put up some fake kiddie porn on a link on a web forum and raid people houses based on just clicking a link. Oh wait they do that already. Better hope you don't get "Rick rolled" into one of those links. 
I'm all for locking up child predators, but let's use some common sense and let's not forget the Constitution is more than "just a damn piece of paper!" |

That might be true if all they do is look at the session's packets. OTOH, if they get access to the .torrent file, they can fire up their own Torrent client and feed the .torrent file to it, monitor whose IPNs are currently in the peer cloud, and download the files (even though the session itself is encrypted). Seeing the contents of the downloaded file is, of course, assumes that the file is not password protected (as some files I have seen are). That would require not only the .torrent file but the associated password. |

also remember Kiddie porn is an easy way to get bills past the non RIAA purchased law makers. im all for laws to stop and lock up those who do create/distro/use kiddie porn but not if the bill is backed by people using pedophiles as a cover for anti-piracy.
