umm ... what I ment was not "what" they tried to download ... it is the act in
itself... the act of d/l, so to speak

now, I think that is not really allowed... I can agree to "bend the truth", but if
the authorities fall to pure utter lieing it could cause a liability case in
court... authorities backbone lay in the fact of having facts supported by truth
backed by laws and regulations.
Now, let's pretend you come by my username while searching for something specific.
That would be ok as long as you are not from any law inforcement agency anywhere
in the world and you are only out for the purpose and intent of making it possible
prosecuting the owner. If that is the case, it is in fact illegal for you to be
there, if I could make a line stating something like this to the ones wanting to
download from me:
---------------------
By Entering this share you are agreeing to the following; If not, you must exit
immediately:
~ That my , and the activities that it was intended for, are in all ways legal.
~ The purpose of my share is for the ease of communication with other users of the
WinMX network.
~ I do not condone nor encourage the distribution of "warez" or copyrighted works,
software, etc.
~ The person/persons who hosts and/or created this share are not responsible for
the actions of visitors downloading from here.
~ That, if you visit my private share and you are not agreeing to these terms, you
are violating code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton
in 1995 and that means that you CANNOT threaten any person(s) storing these files
and cannot prosecute any person(s) affiliated with this IP, which includes family,
friends or individuals who run or enter here
Therefore you must leave immediately.
--------------------
Now, if I made this and made it appear before the actual downloading started, then
the user downloading from me would at least have been given a fair warning first
and also been made aware of the fact that by doing it they had agreed to
participate in something they thought of as being illegal and by this creating a
case of liability ...
