dunno, so ya think he really was doing research?
I don't know anything about him, and not a real big 'The Who' fan ... if his story of his past is true I could find it more believable.

"I didn't inhale" is SO 20th century..
In comes the new century with "but I didnt' download!!"

Probably it is not stopped because the child porn sites are bait to catch the little warped wankers.

I do not know if he is guilty or not but I would like to see the notes on the downloaded pages and the book that he is working on. If he is genuinly working on a book he must have notes to that effect.

I also think its undoable because of legality - most of the sites are in other nations. Where our laws cant touch them.

Not to mention the "free speech" nuts who will come to the rescue of these sicko sites.

as was mentioned the actual newsgroup is usually stored in a 3rd world country where our laws can't stop them. I imagine if the person caught any flack at all from their country they'd just shoot them a 20 and all would be well
sad to see
some sick freakin' people out there

Hi Larrwhit,
Welcome to techimo!

I think that its the fact that the newsgroups arent on the ISPs' servers - therefore it isnt theirs to delete. All ISPs allow their customers access to the servers elsewhere on the 'net. If their customers go to porn sites, news sites, Warez sites, ETC. the ISPs' wont stop them because they would lose business.

Your too fast for me Vass!
