Some US ISP's were seized in a cyberporn bust. Dreamscape's statement at: http://www.dreamscape.com/dream98/statement.htm Buffnet's at: http://www.buffnet.com/ag/ Vacco's at: http://www.oag.state.ny.us/press/oct98/oct28_98.html All three worth reading. This could be a big story. The theory against the ISPs (not that they've been charged with a crime) is that they knowingly carried the newsgroups: alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.pre-teen alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.early-teen This has broader application -- alt.binaries.warez.*, alt.binaries.sounds.mp3, etc. Is any ISP which carries suspect newsgroups at risk of having its equiptment seized, and who draws up the blacklist of newsgroups? Or worse, is there no public blacklist at all -- just the hovering fear of an up-for-reelection AG swooping down. And when do naughty pictures start showing up in alt.fan.disney? And what's the AG's move then?
