I'm just speculating here, but I've heard of a similar online file exchange area called Hotline (http://www.bigredh.com/index2.html) http://www.freshmeat.net/search.php3?query=hotline Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this almost exactly the same thing only with a focus on porn and warez over mp3? (not overtly of course) I imagine there are security issues lurking in the Hotline clients if they allow more file types. On Sat, 5 Feb 2000, Blue Boar wrote:

As I stated already in a list email well before
yours, this is possible.
Anyone that wants to pursue steganographic methods
for fooling file
transfer software is very likely to meet with
success.
My conclusion was, who the hell would want to? A
hex editor? Gee, that's
useful. --jordanDepends on whether you were trying to keep people
solely from giving access
to other files on accident, or if you were trying to
keep people from
trading other types of warez intentionally. BB
