I agree h2hoot here. Yes you can call a National organization and explain that while illegally downloading various copyrighted material you decided to nobily look up porn stuff lol. And while doing so you saw various letters . . .

But honestly, where would it go?

Think about how Kaaza works. Kaaza is a giant share ware program so you are literally going into individual hard drives to take out software lol. The individual you are downloading from is probably one of many that has that file and is not the originator of it.

IT would be difficult for you even tot ell who the person is because they use a user name and once you or they unlink you don't see them again.

Generally you only get results if you can hit somebody in the pocketbook. Unless its an actual business venture that you can sue, you're probably not going to get results. You'll only bring attention to what you want to avoid.

I'd blow it off, unless you've got some specific information about the identify of the people producing the porn and that the sorority letters or name are actually used in the film.

Although it might be worth reporting, I would actually worry less about porn than about something like Sorority Life. Most porn watchers know that what they're watching has zero to do with real life. It reinforces stereotypes, sure, but it's obviously made up.

You could report it to the national HQ of each org, but they probably couldn't do anything to procecute the use of trademarked material, since it is so hard to track down people on the net. It's sick that this stuff sells!
Thanks for trying to look out for us.

Well hypothetically if I edited all my Kazaa file descriptions to include the phrase “I love XYZ” would this be considered a misrepresentation of a file/sorority? I mean its one thing to say that a lesbian orgy is an initiation ritual of XYZ but once you attach the name to it in another manner you step into that whole gray area.
