Wow wow !!! I did not want to start a flame war with my post ...
Things for me are clear :
In France it's illegal and I have my boss's instruction :
- find and delete the files that's all.

All well and good for locating files of a certain format and/or with
particular content, but it doesn't address the question of whether a
specific copy is "legal", i.e. did the user who put it there have the
legal right to put it there?
{{ 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.
Go to hell.
I recommend you take your own advice -- then you might have an opportunity
to learn "what the hell" you're talking about.
He wants to rename the files that are illegal to ones that
aren't.
Have you got *anything* to support that =libelous= accusation?
While you're at it, I dare you to attempt to explain how 'renaming' a
file can _possibly_ make it 'legal' if it were not so before the renaming..
Next, _if_ he was doing that, can you explain _why_ he needed to look 'inside'
the file for content type?
He is specifically attempting to find content that has *ALREADY* been
'concealed' in 'innocuous' file names.
That's circumventing copyright law and would land him or her in
jail.
THAT statement is 'libel per se', and, as such, actionable defamation.
This topic, based solely on ethics, should not be discussed as any
suggestions that this is LEGAL to do supports copyright violations.
STRAWMAN ALERT!!
BOGON ALERT!!
"This topic" -- meaning *YOUR* "false to fact" assumption about the OP
'renaming' copyright-infringing files to avoid detection -- exists *ONLY*
in your depraved imagination.
Since there is =nothing= in this discussion, up to this point, that touchs
on the point _at_all_, It is *pure*fiction* to postulate that there have
been any suggestions that 'this is legal'.
In point of actual FACT, the OP, a _system_administrator_, is attempting
to ferret out possible COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS -- of the type you so vehemently
oppose -- BY HIS USERS.
Yet, for some reason, you are opposed to those who are offering said admin
assistince in FINDING THE VIOLATIONS.
I would record those names and DELETE them but only if the TOS supports
it.
You *do* realize that doing _that_ would make *you* potentially liable for
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION for 'intentionally destroying evidence' of a crime,
don't you?
If it does not, then you get the DCMA notice
You *REALLY*are an ignoramus, aren't you?
Did you notice _where_ the OP was posting from?
Do you have any idea of the geographic limits of the DMCA?
Did you notice that the OP, a system administrator, has _already_ received
a legal notice about 'infringing' files on his system?
and handle it
accordingly from the copyright holder.
