FBI, File-Sharing Networks Team to Combat Child Pornography

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 7, 2004 - 2:45am.
Washington -- P2P United, a trade group representing a number of peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, on Thursday submitted a letter to Congress detailing how it is working with the FBI to create a "most wanted" list of suspected child pornography traders on their networks. In Congressional hearings, peer-to-peer networks have been vilified for offering easy access to pornography, and in some cases for trafficking adult content files mislabeled to possibly attract children. "Any time we can work with private industry to help us identify people who are using the Internet for child pornography, we are more than open to having talks with them," Keith Lordeau, a deputy assistant director in the FBI's Cyber Division, told Reuters. The program is expected to launch within two or three months.
