So pretty much, the one roommate is using the other's computer without permission. I think that if I were trying to 'sell' mediation at that point I would make that the issue - property usage, as compared to pornography. The disputants might be more willing to talk about sharing each other's belongings than the right and wrongs of pornography. Just my two cents.
