>>Earlier this week US Internet service providers Verizon, Sprint and
>>Time Warner Cable publicly agreed to block parts of the usenet in an
>>attempt to curtail access to child pornography. Today however, New York
>>State’s attorney general Andrew M. Cuomo involved in the deal comes
>>with new information that the real reason was not to curb child porn,
>>but to shut off access to alt.games.lucas-arts.monkey-island, a usenet
>>discussion group informally known as Aglami.
>>
>>Aglami started off as a discussion group dedicated to the LucasArts
>>Entertainment Company LLC game series Monkey Island, more than
>>ten years ago. Yet like many other groups in the alt.* hierarchy, a
>>class of usenet groups with no centralized control or authority,
>>members of Aglami soon ventured out into a world of unprecedented
>>textual debauchery and mental disarray.  
>>
>>“You can’t help but look at this material and not be disturbed,” said
>>Mr. Cuomo, who had promised to take up the issue during his 2006
>>campaign. "I am the proud father of three beautiful children, and I
>>simply would not like to see them to grow up in a world where people
>>can just post to Aglami freely. We just can't allow them to go on with
>>this."
>>
>>“The I.S.P.s’ point had been, ‘We’re not responsible, these are
>>individuals communicating with individuals, we’re not responsible,’ ”he
>>said, referring to Internet service providers. “Our point was that at
>>some point, you do bear responsibility.”
>>
>>While Cuomo stressed that the procedures taken by the Internet service
>>providers up to this point have been entirely voluntary, other
>>countries seem inspired by the move and are looking at judicial ways to
>>efficiently remove the threat Aglami poses to society. Poland's
>>Minister of National Defence Bogdan Klich announced the Polish
>>parliament will vote on the issue next month. "Being a new member of
>>the European Union," he said in a recent press conference, "we would
>>like to express our commitment by casting Aglami into the deepest
>>depths of hell."

>Somehow this doesn't come as a suprise...

i'll surprise you
