AMES, Iowa. (March 17, 2003)--Although the illegal sharing of copyrighted movies and music via peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications is well publicized, a study released today by Palisade Systems indicates that accessing adult and child p**nography is the single largest use of these applications today. According to the study, 42% of all searches on Gnutella file-sharing applications were for adult or child p**nographic movies or images.
In an analysis of over 22 million searches on file-sharing networks, the study found the following:
73% of all movie searches were for p**nography
24% of all image searches were for child p**nography
6% of all searches were for child p**nography of some kind
Only 3% were for non-p**nographic or non-copyrighted materials
No, I don't know why they blanked out the word pornographic, but considering that there are already loads who download music and movies, the number of paedophiles out there is beyond belief.

I've read a few of my dad's (a Probation Officer) pre-sentence reports about dodgy blokes downloading highly dodgy things off the internet. Many claim it was an "accident" as the files downloaded automatically from file sharing software or they were unaware of what they were downloading or some other bullcrap.
The reason I've read through the reports is to advise my dad (who knows little about download software) to find out if the things they claim are true and whether they could have downloaded the stuff by accident, but from what many claim in their statements they are in fact, dirty little liars.

(Internet + Daily Mail) x (Richard & Judy) = The Truth, Dammit!
It should have read "New users search for porno"
After a couple of weeks, it gets boring and you start looking for music, videos etc.
Novelty wears off.
And although it's tempting to immediately hit the "Big Paedo Panic Button", I'd find out more on those statistics

Mm, it sounds a little like a case of "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". I think I'd like to know a little more about the ideaology underpinning the newsletter before accepting what they say as gospel.
Hmm, that's hard to believe. If that was the case, I'm sure we would have heard about it from other sources before now. The adult porn bit sounds about right though. Sounds like something the Daily Mail would print perhaps.
