{{ Noting that the troll contributed nothing constructive to the OP's
   problem, _or_ to dealing with the pseudo-issue he raises. }}

Obviously the ankle-biter was incapable of reading the ACTUAL REQUEST
the OP made:

  "Anyone knows an utility that I could pipe to the "find" command
   in order to detect video, music, games ... etc  files ?
  
   I need a tool that could "inspect" inside files because many users
   rename those filename to "inoffensive" ones :-)"

NOTE WELL that the OP was _smart_enough_ -- unlike the prior poster -- to
ask about something that _can_ be done mechanically.

Furthermore, it was _explicit_ in the actual suggestion that it only 
produced a list possible 'suspects' -- It did _not_ provide any indication 
of status -- 'legal', or otherwise.
