The way that someone in >authority demonstrates somthing is illegal, it is usually in the form of >a warrant, or felony charges. As far as I know, in Ontario, Canada, an ISP is NOT required to go through each and every post to determine and judge whether or not a particular post is illegal or not. I dont have time to do, and I dont think the police or the courts expect me to do it. Sure, you can make reasonable efforts (e.g. not carry alt.pedophilia or alt.binaries.warez.*, which we dont), but I am not going to spend 24hrs a day going through alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* to make sure each and every post does not depict someone under 18. ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
