A member of piratgruppen.org have made a program that disables Parent Control. But you can also just hide you music or movies in a folder in the “c:\windows\system32\”-folder. Then it will not befound!

If you want my thoughts. I think its spyware and or a virus and you should treat it like one. its a waste of space on your harddrive resource hog this app should delete itself.
I bet it reports what it finds on your PC along with your IP and ISP and guess who comes to your door and wants to sue your ass.

“ParentFileScan_setup.msi” eh? Sounds more like “Thought_Crime_Betrayer-Sterilizer.exe”.

“Hey parents, if you even think your kids might be infringing on our copyrights don’t hesitate to delete first, ask questions later. Heck, if you find a whole bunch of ILLEGAL files you should probably turn your child/children over to us for prosecution and re-education. It’s the right thing to do, trust us.”

“Hey kids, if you even think your parents might be infringing on our copyrights make sure to rat them out. Just drop us an e-mail, we’ll take care of the rest. It’s the right thing to do, trust us.”

It seems that this program will even delete mp3s which were ripped from a CD. It’s not illegal to create mp3s from a CD you purchased. Does this identify mp3s purchased on Napster as well?

Anyone who uses this is either an idiot or very uninformed.

Does MPAA think that parents, are their employees??
If parents scanned their children pc`s for illegal stuff, that would they would be doing, just acting like MPAA employees!!!
Good one MPAA, Sue the parents, and make parents ur servants, but making them scan their children HD`s!!!!.
And who knows, wheter this software is reporting back, to big Mamma.

So the MPAA expect the p2p apps writes to filter out ‘illegal copyrighted files’ (BTW I don’t believe there is such a thing… hmm who’s got the patent on 1’s and 0’s?) from users shares, but they cannot identify the same files on a users system. Even though the user has run this software and given it a list of files?

Way to go MPAA!

So, they took the Windows search function and made a different GUI for it.

Such innovation.
