Yeah, that's funny and all, but where can i read about the technical details?

They send you an e-mail with a link to child porn hidden in the file, then, when you reply, you are now a child predator.

Sidecar files, also known as buddy files or connected files, are computer files that store data (often metadata) which is not supported by the format of a source file.
There may be one or more sidecar files for each source file. There may also be "metadata databases" where one database contains metadata for several source files.
In most cases the relationship between the source file and the sidecar file is based on the file name; sidecar files have the same base name as the source file, but with a different extension. The problem with this system is that most operating systems and file managers have no knowledge of these relationships, and might allow the user to rename or move one of the files thereby breaking the relationship.
Amiga Hunk metadata
In AmigaOS, a file with a .info extension contains metadata for a companion Amiga Hunk executable file.
Extensible Metadata Platform
Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) metadata is stored in a sidecar file when either a file format doesn't support embedded XMP metadata or if the workflow requires this.
Connected Web Files and Folders
A file system object that associated two or more files. The file system treats connected files as a unit for purposes of moving, copying, and deleting. Some versions of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word can save an HTML and its hyperlinked assets as such a unit.
THM
Many digital cameras will store a .thm (thumbnail) file alongside a recorded movie, with the same base filename as the movie file. These thumbnail files are JFIF-encoded image files. This system allows for quickly displaying a still preview of the movie, and storing camera data which is not supported by the AVI file format.
INF
Acorn filesystems support metadata such as load and execution addresses that may not be natively supported on other filesystems. A .inf file is used to store this metadata in text format, stored in a file with the same base filename, eg Menu and Menu.inf, Build.src and Build.src.inf.
JPEG + WAV
Some digital cameras allow for voice/audio annotations with photos. These are then stored as WAV audio files alongside the JPEG photo file, with the same base filename.
PDF + annotations
Pdf viewers which allow the reader to annotate documents with comments and drawings may store these in a sidecar file, such as Xournal's .xoj files.
RunPacker
The MS-DOS-based self-extracting archive generator RunPacker relied heavily on sidecar files because the proprietary package format PFA (packfile archive) used in it did not natively store file attributes or timestamps. To address this limitation, a backward-compatible system of auxiliary files (as called in official documentation) was implemented to store aforementioned data in volumes without changing their format. These were added to the PFA volume the same way as ordinary files, except they were marked by special characters in their name, and software made aware of this system (sometimes called ePFA, Extended PFA) processed them transparently. Older programs relying on the PFA format would simply read or extract the file along with all others found in the volume. The ePFA format was designed with further extensibility in mind, and has been actually extended with several features over time.
Meta Information Encapsulation (MIE)
Meta Information Encapsulation sidecar files. The MIE format is an extensible, dedicated meta information format part of ExifTool. MIE files can be used to encapsulate meta information from many sources and bundle it together with any type of file.
A variation of this are copies of the source file which contain largely the same information, but in a different format or from a previous version:
Exif
Since many JPEG editing software used to destroy Exif metadata stored in digital photos, some photo cataloging applications can extract the Exif data and store that in an .exf file, so that the metadata can later be re-inserted into the JPEG file.
Raw + JPEG
Many digital cameras allow to store both uncompressed raw data and a JFIF-encoded image file when shooting in "raw mode". This allows for faster previewing the photo, and support by applications that do not support the (often undocumented) raw format.
TIF + TFW or JPG + JGW
Aerial photos may be supplied with a World File that determines the location, size and rotation of the image.

That .jpg exploit back in the '90's was funny. All you had to do was get the .jpg onto the person's system, then as soon as they hovered their mouse over it, or clicked it, it would secretly open an URL invisibly, allowing download and execution of shell code. The Internet freaked right out.

It's kinda strange to think about how you can legally own hacking tools, videos of people being tortured, snuff films, how to make drugs and bombs but there are certain types of porn that are illegal. I can't even think of any other kind of data that's illegal to posses
Having certain types of data be illegal doesn't really work in the information age. Those laws were put in place when the majority of pornography was physical media.

You can't have crime photos of children not because they're criminal photos but because by possessing the shit in the first place you're breaking the law currently by exploiting that childs image just by being alone. You're exploiting a poor child who can't make choices for themselves properly.
not to mention your head should come off and buried away from your body o the other side of the planet just in case some creepy doctor cryo you to come back to life one day.
Scron how do you even think it should be OK to possess such a thing because somehow it relates to other things.
Having Child porn has no value of being a tool of some sort other than you sick perversion while someone who makes explosives might take out a tree stump. How is possessing CP in anyway a positive application for use?

seems shady as shit anyway.
1. How do you get cp into metadata? The only thing I can think of is that there was a folder zipped up and it contained the windows/osx thumbnail file in the zip, but those thumbnails are like 64x64 so it'd be close to impossible to see what was going on in the image anyway.
2. Why would the parents or their lawyers be sifting through metadata unless they were specifically told to? those files are hidden by default, and there's no reason anyone would be going through them unless they were looking for something specific.
