My mate informed me of it, as he was using my mates hosting after Romanian police kicked in the doors and shutdown a server for a few hours.

You could say that...
Romanian police kicking the server offline is kinda like a abuse report.

Oh Romania.... That country and hosting sure are a fun topic.
So they frown on the young content, but everything else is fine
?
I worry about legitimate claims of such content, but more importantly the producers of such content.
Equally disturbing is the emotional jerk strings such content has nearly universally. It is becoming the new thing to plant on folks, as drugs were in the past.

Hard to be in this business without seeing it. Still makes my blood boil every time.
Yeah its a bit of a pitta, if only it could be automated ;/
Reporting to Resell.biz (Cloud Group Limited) - domain registry
Also might be good idea.
Such ill minds should be stopped at any possible way.
@Topic creator
Thanks for warning!

Well, I had to go look and see what this site was...
F'n great... Thanks a lot.
What is disturbing is the images. There are 200+ pages of them. Active still working photos go all the way back to 2011 at least.
How has this fool continued to spew this stuff for so long?

AND you just gave the FBI reason to arrest you for CP should they desire. Apparently viewing it is illegal, since you retain it on your computer in the form of cache.

Which is hilarious considering that they have not only viewed, but allowed or encouraged distribution themselves in their efforts. My least favorite phrase is "the end justifies the means."

The FBI can fuck off truly. If seeing what is there was a crime, then their ilk is hardcore offender. Add it to their laundry list and put it on my life tab.
I'm was wondering if this site was still online - and hadn't been pushed offline and of course the mechanics of how the host was delivering these files (all 3rd party image upload sites).
Images on that site seem to be hugely taken from cam hosting services. Exploitation via chat and webcam.
Note to self - cam hosting and image hosting = bad businesses to freely and idealistically provide services in. Filter and babysit. ToS prohibiting such or greatly restricting them.
I run cacheless BTW... nothing hits a disk either. I saw 5000 murders on TV yesterday. Maybe the FIBs can address those too.
It's a grey area.
If you're a webhosting provider and you are alerted to the presence of this material then for you to go and check (effectively looking at the material) isn't an offence per se. If, however, you go to check it and spend an hour or whatever looking through it all then your motives are questionable. On the other hand, if you quickly flick through and form the opinion that the content is indeed of a questionable nature and proceed to inform the authorities then you have, in essence, washed your hands clean of any involvement in the distribution or cultivation of said material and done the right thing. It is then up to the authorities to direct you in the correct course of action with a view to having the distribution stopped and the offender caught or at least traced.
@buffalooed, sitting there and going through it when you don't really have a reason to be would be questionable IN MY OPINION. I do, however, understand the curiosity in seeing what technology is being used for distribution.. as would be the case of any website and not one specific to this disgusting crap.
If it were me, unless you have a direct involvement in the issue, steer well clear. Just because you run cacheless and nothing hits the disk doesn't mean you cannot be tracked, traced or prosecuted.

To be honest...it continues because nobody cares about that stuff. That's just speaking from my experience. Others may have had different luck, but I've encountered child pornography a small handful of times on our servers over the years, reported them to all sorts of folks, and never heard back...not once. Literally not one time has anybody ever contacted me for further information. Hell, I probably still have their sites archived on CD somewhere (they were deleted from the server darn near immediately). But nobody has ever contacted me. Ah well...
I probably couldn't even find those if I tried, but I know I put them on CD originally. Most of them are quite a few years old.
I took a full archive of the site, webpages and everything. Also had screenshots of the user's website, domain whois, client info, client login IPs, etc. Agreed that it might not be prudent just to take the images and store them somewhere. In fact, that would probably be really bad. ha ha! But I would hope the FBI or whomever investigates that stuff would understand the need for archiving the material, so that it could be deleted from the server. Hell, if I left it on the server and waited for them, it would still be there...years later. LOL!
