Got offended by stuff on a hidden folder? geeze...you should block 'em from Google! especially if it's a private stash...
Actually I'm not quite sure where manga scans fall legally, whether it'd be under fair use or something else, or whether they actually are illegal...copyright laws being so nuts nowadays anyhow. For that matter I've never been sure if it's the legal aspect that J-fen get tetchy about, or a more nebulous respect for the creators, or something else...(but the Shounen Jump weekly scans, they're often from Japanese sources, aren't they? So it's not a universal thing even in Japan...)
