P2P means PEER 2 PORNOGRAPHY!

And just when you think that the RIAA can't hit lower or be more sleazy...

In a nutshell? The RIAA is now mounting support for their crusade against P2P networks by trying to pass off P2P networks as a child pronography traffcing highways. Yep. They are starting to sling more mud than an average politician.

I can't wait until the "Every time you download a music file, a child gets raped." advertisements. I just can't fucking wait.

Even if the RIAA shut down p2p networks, the small amount of children who do use them for porn will be able to find a new stash of porn in several minutes. -_-'

Take out the child in child pornography, and you have what's called a justified cause.:p

I hate to burst your "OMZ TEH RIAA IS SUXXORS" post, but there is a legitimate point in the article.



Pornography has been actively traded through file-sharing services from their start. But the record labels have recently started lending lobbying and logistical support to antipornography and child protection groups that are raising the issue. For example, Dan Klores Communications, which represents Sony Music and other music clients, has been promoting Parents for Megan's Law, a Long Island group involved with preventing child abuse that has been critical of child pornography available through file-sharing services, like KaZaA.

Their first major point is that pornography is easily available with no age checks on KaZaA. Believe it or not, there are some parents that are not internet savvy, and do not monitor their children's access to the internet because they do not know enough to do it.

I just did a video search for "sex" on KaZaA. I got 3,422 files returned. The problem the RIAA is pointing out is that there is NO age verification for such a download. Sure, kids can still use FTP sites, IRC, and free sites to get their porn fix. But free sites generally don't provide video, and when they do it's not the quality of the things that reside on KaZaA. I realize that IRC is a popular place for trading porn. This type of kid is more determined to reach porn, and I think a good analogy is when the alarm company told us "If someone really wants to break into your house, nothing will stop them.".

With respect to child porn, if you don't think it's traded on KaZaA, you're blind or retarded or both. A search for the word "lolita" returned 600 results. I'm not going to download "Russian lolita 11yo hard sex", but I will mention that its actual file name is "Anal Porn - Rape - Teen Blonde begs for Mercy". If you really think it doesn't exist, do the search yourself. I'm not saying that by trading files you are directly advocating child porn, but I am saying that sometimes the RIAA does have a point.

Now, to round out AGN, we need some SCO articles to go with the RIAA articles.

I especially like the image on the side of the article:

They don't like to consider facts. The facts get in the way of what they believe things should be, so they ignore them and anyone who doesn't as well.

Yes, but is the RIAA's case in any way against web sites? This is simply a new angle to attack file sharing from. A rather valid one too.

If you had the chance to take action and prevent 1% of murders in the nation, would you pass it by because it was such a small percentage? People whose children have been molested and exploited would love to see even a small percentage of child porn shut down.

That's like doing all you can to kill one bee in an entire hive. You don't go after the whole hive, but just that one bee. It's going to come back in one form or another. That's pretty silly, considering the larger portion. Even if it is valid, it's just another post for them to attack from.
