With the publicity surrounding the recently announced coalition
and agreement eliminating 'pornography' from certain providers, I
am curious as to what our group's thoughts are wrt potential legal
expoure to us in the following two areas:
A| Network Connectivity Providing
and B| Usenet Network News Providing.
I have arguments in my head both ways on the question:
"Is the NSP|ISP responsible for content of their Pipes|NNTP feed?"
I would be curious to hear what the concensus (as if there might
be one) is.
