Can P2P Filter Copyrighted Content?
scubacuda writes "DRMwatch reports that technologists acting on behalf of porn publisher Titan Media reported to Congress that P2P networks could (if they wanted to) use "fingerprinting" (aka "hashing") to detect copyrighted works and then filter them with the "spyware" installed on all nodes in the network."
the internet without porn is like... errr... sex... without paying for it!
LOL

Porn is no longer confined to the seedy areas of town as it once was, in smelly buildings with men who don't dare make eye contact with one another. It's in our homes and living rooms now, and a porn addict can spend hours upon end online with his addiction and never spend a single cent. What are called "tgp's" refresh their pictures daily and compete for millions of hits from middle aged porn addicts with computers. They don't require any money at all. I once told a minister that
I could give him a search word that would keep him in free porn for the rest of his natural life. I also told him he didn't want to know what that word was. He didn't ask. I have been one of those porn addicts. I have fought porn addiction for most of my teenaged and adult life. I was molested at three and beaten and punished severely for my subsequent curiosity with neighborhood girls. A vacuum on correct sexual information and not having any sisters of my own created a mystery and insatiability to my views of the female body and the sexual world. I have been married for 25 years. It doesn't matter. Until one comes to know the dreadfulness of his sin nature, there is little hope of giving up such a strong compulsion, and one must also come to know what women truly are in the eyes of God to even begin recovery. Solomon wrote that there is nothing new under the sun. So it is with sexuality. But porn promises never ending variety and stimulation. If a nyarea of our lives is vacant or unsatisfied, the lust for porn has room to take up residence. It is a terrible compulsion and there are indeed victims and consequences. I used to measure my time away from porn as I do my sobriety time from alcoholism, which is now 12.5 years. One can live without alcohol, but not without food and affection.
So now I know that my progress is not based on time measurements, but on the amount of my flesh that can be affected by sin during any given period. The only answer is the armor of God, discussed in the book of Ephesians. I was called to the ministry in 1995 and promptly swore off ever going into another adult bookstore. I have kept that vow to this day, and trashed one of the best porn collections you'd ever find anywhere. But what happens when your computer screen can bring up millions of pornographic images as a temporary cure for loneliness, fatigue, rejection, everyday problems, and anxiety? What then? The answer for me has also been the discovery of the true preciousness of women, not of what their outsides consist of, but of what is inside. I am becoming faithful with both my wife and a dear female friend about this affliction. Some day I hope to be sufficiently fit and secure that I might show other men the way to the same freedom I am finding, day by day. Laws against these adult websites are not the answer. Such barriers only create resentment and curiosity, just as the beatings I received as a child did. God wants us to do the right thing for the right reasons. Sex in it's blessed form is sanctioned by God, but few people even address that. If we begin to teach the masses that the human body is a beautiful and divine thing, that the women in pornography and the men who view it are equally enslaved, and that wonderful sex at its best is the product of deep intimacy and God sanctioned relationships, we might spare future generations in our brave new world the despair of the sins of their fathers. As for now, my mind, heart, and soul are clean and so is my computer.
" Complaint to nic.cx results in goatse.cx being suspended. Obligatory online petition is started. Screams and sobbing are heard on a regular basis on Slashdot. Links are SFW, but any investigation further may not be. This is truly a dark time for the internet. "
This deserves it's own story under YRO. Whether the slashdot editurs like it or not, goatse.cx is (was?) a high-profile website on many online forums. The fact that they ran afoul of their TOS, and whether those TOS were changed specifically to shutdown goatse.cx should be of interest to many in the slashdot community.
