HOWEVER, the "alt.binaries.warez" groups, and more particularly, the groups used *primarily* to distribute kiddie porn are another matter. Nobody with half a neuron firing in their head is going to be able to make an argument in a courtroom that the group "alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.windows" isn't a group designed and operated for the purpose of distributing stolen software. Or try "alt.binaries.pictures.teen-fuck". Tell me THAT's not obvious on its face.
That was beaten to death many years ago. Nobody with a half neuron will argue for filtering or removal of those newsgroups on a large scale (now, i contend that a teeny weeny ISP can get away with it, but for large ISPs it just doesn't work). The reason is very simple: the objectionable content will simply move to "legitimate" newsgroups. There is no way to prevent it. Which would make it much harder for those who don't want to see it to filter it out. How about _encouraging_ such self-regulation instead? Now, can we get out of the kiddie porn sandbox? --vadim
