It's not Khaled's job to try and stop people trading files, it is the IRC networks that should be making the effort by closing all fserving rooms. Now a couple of years ago when this forum first opened I used to mention the fact that my network has never allowed the trading of illegal files. Never. And I got laughed at and everyone said, yeah good idea but it's not possible to restrict it. Why did they say that? Because they'd simply never seen it happen, not because it's not possible. Now that a big network like Dalnet has followed the lead people are saying "Ahhh this is possible", and the attitude has changed for the better and IRC networks are conceding that while a DCC does not pass through the server, the server is still used in most cases to initiate the connection. As for rooms that don't use DCC but just have adbots displaying FTP URLs, that is probably just as bad as the network is knowingly being used to advertise the source of illegal software. It's high time that the networks supporting wares channels showed some courage and booted each and every single fserver of illegal files off their servers and put this in front of the priority of looking after their precious user counts.
