The 'ACTUAL REQUEST' was for 'Tools to find "unlegal" files' (quotes in original). Not '... media files', or '... files which _might_ infringe copyrights', but '... "unlegal" files'. As noted elsewhere in this thread, my point was that that can't be automated -- at least, not to my knowledge. > ... 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. and thus it did not solve the OP's stated problem, unless we are to presume that the subject line was not part of the problem statement.
