I don't get this concept of downloading porn. Every time they catch some pervert, he always has tens of thousands of indecent images on their computer. Surely you just look at the filth of your choice online as the will takes you?
I assume that pervs are storing and trading pics that are otherwise unobtainable or illegal.
Every pic you look at online is "stored" in your cache though; and even if you delete them they are merely deleted from the catalog (or whatever it's called) and actually remain on the hard drive until overwritten by some other stuff. I'd kind of assumed that a lot of pervs didn't know this :huh:
What the others said.
I think there is an element of "hoarding" involved, which is more of a psychological than an actual need. I also think this is a response rooted in the past, when online access to streaming porn was impossible due to slow internet connection.
Plus of course some porn is paid per view, but can be downloaded, so there is a benefit to having it on your harddrive rather than accessing it online.
I have actually freed up about 40 GB of old porn collection on my hard drive recently because I realized that I can access it online at any time.
Some sites have you pay a high subscription fee that gives access to anything on their site, if you want to see any of it after you've canceled after that first month you'll need to have downloaded it.

So when you do that, how come your hard drive capacity increases when you delete the pics, if the stuff is still "stored." I mean I know that's correct, but I never understood it.

I saved the stuff I paid for. The peace of mind knowing you are not going to get some sort of horrible virus or internet worm was worth the couple bucks.

While the pics were undeleted they had reserved disk space, on deletion that space can now be overwitten and is available.

See, I'd tend to agree, although the "any time" may be problematic--and this applies to other content, not just porn. I mean, my Internet was out for about 30 hours this week. That's an extreme case, but I wasn't bound to be bored, since I have a great deal of local content, from MST3K episodes to COHF videos.
Thing is, you guys are all talking about more or less "legitimate" porn, that you can download from a pay site or for free. The OP is talking about pervs being busted, presumably for having illegitimate porn, like kiddie porn. That stuff is no doubt somewhat hard to get, being illegal, so naturally the pervs in question are going to want to save it when they find some.

Some space is marked as free, but actually isn't free, it has the deleted files on it. At some point this space will be reclaimed by new files, at which point the old deleted ones will be overwritten. Until that happens, though, the old deleted files can be restored.

Fair enough, though if the cops already had enough on you to search your computer, they would probably search your room for hard drives as well.
I've never understood the porn hoarding... other digital files, like TV, comics, movies, music of non porny status sure. I hoard those, but porn?
you look at it then go away. I don't get watching the same porn over and over.
Well sure. But some specimens are simply good enough that you may want to revisit them again. Do you never watch a movie twice either? :P

Why would you hoard movies or tv, by the same logic? One rarely goes back to rewatch them and technically they are all available if you want to rewatch them. :huh:

Nah - even on the kiddie porn files they usually have a ton of "legitimate" porn as well on their hard drives.
Beeb: is that usually discrete files, uncleared caches, or can you not say?
Honestly, I'm completely paranoid about what gets left on my computer, so I delete with programs that meet NSA spec (writes over the sector where the deleted data was 7 times). A good computer forensic tech can even extrapolate data that's been overwritten once or twice.

That can in fact be quite a problem.
In order to make out a conviction you have to prove that ther person depicted is, or appears to be, under the age of 18 on a standard of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt". Lots of charges are withdrawn, or never laid in the first place, because the age of the subject is ambiguous. Also, there is a large "legitimate" market for 'barely legal' porn.
You are entitled to look at all of the circumstances and evidence. That incldues the image itself of course, but also the file name, where and how it is stored, and other documentary evidence from the computer. So, an image itself may be arguable, but if the file name is 13yogirl.jpg stored under the directory /childporn, you can probably get a conviction.
PLus of course lots of child porn leaves you with no doubt that the subject is well under the age of 18. :x

Well, you could also say that "Debbie Does Dallas" is legitimate porn, whereas National Geographic's "Women of Africa" is not. :P
Incidentally, why does English language uses words "girl" (and in gay sex, "boy") to denote relatively young, but of legal age, objects of sexual desire, when the same words are also used to denote kids?

In order to make out a conviction you have to prove that ther person depicted is, or appears to be, under the age of 18 on a standard of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt". Lots of charges are withdrawn, or never laid in the first place, because the age of the subject is ambiguous. Also, there is a large "legitimate" market for 'barely legal' porn.
You are entitled to look at all of the circumstances and evidence. That incldues the image itself of course, but also the file name, where and how it is stored, and other documentary evidence from the computer. So, an image itself may be arguable, but if the file name is 13yogirl.jpg stored under the directory /childporn, you can probably get a conviction.
PLus of course lots of child porn leaves you with no doubt that the subject is well under the age of 18. :x
I guess, depending on the scale of the case, you could also get two experts in to clear it up- a digital photo editing expert to testify that the image hasn't been significantly doctored and a forensic anthropologist to testify that the age range is below adulthood.
Interesting stuff, forensic anthropology- was just checking out an exhibit on it at the Mutter Museum a few weeks ago; it's really nothing like what the show "Bones" leads people to believe.
Next thing you'll tell us that real archeologists aren't anything like Indiana Jones.

Har har har. No, I realized that it was different, but not
that different- I figured a series based on books
by a forensic anthropologist would bear a little more similarity to the field. As it stands, virtually every definitive answer that comes up in the show is closer to science fiction than the real deal.
Cop shows have to be exciting if they want an audience. Real life forensics isn't very exciting. I'm not sure why you'd expect it to be otherwise. :huh:

I found it's useful for non-perverts as well. I had a difficult time reinstalling EU3 before I used CCleaner.
Internet is unreliable.
There's always the risk of going without for hours...days...weeks....
And websites vanish. Files are removed. With stuff of dubious legality I'd imagine this happens regularly, if at least to try and stay one step ahead of the authorities.
