Oh dear, I've just admitted to watching Coupling.

Note - you are free to distribute material as desired." The system would have to reciprocal - one person tells the other the whereabouts of personal stash and instructions for removal and vice-versa. If iot doesn't exist already, I'd call the system 'PornPal - You can rely on your mate to help you out when you're in a state (or flat under a bus)' I think it's got mileage!
