Found CP? Read this!
#1) We don't want to see it. So why post the url?
#2) There are many places to report it. If you are worried about being tied back to it somehow use nonymouse.com to surf the reporting sites then. missingkids.com and asacp.com and your local RCMP, Police, FBI etc are the places you need to report this. Let them do their job.
#3) Don't be a fucking hero. If you come across it, close it off immediately and stop investigating. I know you want to get to the bottom of it but do you realize that police read logs when they investigate this shit and see your IP sitting there with repeated attempts?
#4) Again, don't be a fucking hero. Having the host and/or registrar shut it down may be doing more harm than good. More times than you know, these are police run without the companies knowing about it. Also, how can they investigate something properly if you have it shut down?
#5) Yes, just by viewing it, even if on accident and especially if you are playing "mr investigator" you can be convicted of possession. I had a cop once tell me that even though I reported the material to him that I could be charged if they ever did a deep scan on my drive and found offending images.
Stop being a hero. Use the proper avenues and let the police do their job. Sometimes by being a hero you do more harm than good and can ruin your own life. What if they see your ip hitting it repeatedly, come and confiscate your gear, then you're left with nothing to do your work on? All work files lost, computer gone almost indefinitely... then hauled off to jail for possession even though you were only investigating and deleted the file. The files are still there, just not indexed. Deleting just removes the index in the file allocation table.
Just close it off, report it anonymously, clear and zero fill your cache to DOJ specs and continue about your day.
