Comments on: Ever Visit a Porn Site? Even Accidentally? Your Hard Drive Could Be Used as Evidence Against You! http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/ever-visit-a-porn-site-even-accidentally-your-hard-drive-could-be-used-as-evidence-against-you Internet Safety, Windows Updates, Internet News, and More Sat, 30 Aug 2008 09:14:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Sean http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/ever-visit-a-porn-site-even-accidentally-your-hard-drive-could-be-used-as-evidence-against-you#comment-326112 Sean Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:50:51 +0000 /?p=747#comment-326112 I download porn. Right or wrong, I do, so now that's out there i can get to my point and ask for some advice. Now, I'm more than aware that there are videos out there whose titles allude to paedophile material, but not being one I steer clear of that stuff with a barge pole. But the other night i downloaded a video and in it there's a guy with a white circle covering his face. The girl in the video doesn't look underage to me, but since the quality is not amazing making it hard to determine how old she might be and there's this white circle thing it's played on my mind a bit and I'm concerned the police are going to come smashing through my door at any minute. How can i report it, and who can i report it to? How can i stop 'sharing' it? It baffles me there is stuff available out there like this just floating around but I've always just figured that if there was a way to stop it it would have been stopped, so I've never thought to contact anyone about the titles that you see, but now I've landed with something even dubious I just don't want any involvement in it.

Now we have the Porn Police(state and Federal) to contend with, or is it the Gestapo for the Protection of Public Morals? Add to that the fact that the FBI and numerous local law-dogs monitor certain internet websites, posing as users, in order to trap(entrap?) bad boys. I have two questions: (1) Why are the authorites so obsessed with monitoring there own citizens' computer activities, when they can't even monitor illegal entrants, many of whom could be terrorists(some have already proven to be such)? (2)Why are they pursueing computer USERS who have either purposely, or accidently, downloaded porn? Seems like they should be going after the REAL culprits here...those that place the porn on the internet in the first place. This is tatamount to arresting some guy smoking pot while the guy selling it is ignored! Another question: Can anyone provide a reference to the law that makes it an offense to "download" porn. I would like to read it's specifics. I would sure like to have those questions answered , or otherwise hear anyone's responses to them. Damn, I hope the ACLU and some clear-headed lawmakers are monitoring this travesty of justice! This is Big Brother at it’s worst!

The argument by his defense was that he viewed the child porn pictures on the internet but he did not physically down load them. This is a far cry from inadvertently going whitehouse.com and getting bombarded by porn. http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?show =localnews&pnpID=730&NewsID=639021&CategoryID=3511&on=0 Lets see, 450 porn pictures and 156 images of child porn, I don’t think this guy accidently down loaded the child porn pictures.

If I receive spam, and it automatically gets filtered to the spam directory, then I could be in posession of illegal materials, and never know it. To me that is the same thing as a temporary internet folder. Nice.

It starts opening unstoppable and horribly graphic windows!)" Doesn't look like that's the case anymore. It looks like there's no porn site anymore any it will be a site to search public records. How's that for a change? “Heck, it’s happened to Aunty, when she accidentally typed WhiteHouse.com instead of WhiteHouse.gov (don’t do it!

To help protect yourself, simply set your browsers temporary internet files directory to your ramdisk. That way the junk is never on your hard drives,and goes away the second you kill the power. I switched to this years ago after viewing some of the files in my temp internet directory and found pictures of things that never crossed my screen. Or if they did,it was done in a tenth of a second and written over before I could ever see it. I was rather shocked to see what was hidden without my knowledge on my drive. This works well with IE, however some of the other browsers do not seem to give you the option of where they store what. And that is what a ramdisk is for.
