I have already moved my newsgroup sever from bellsouth. If they are using porn then they should shut down the whole internet then. There has been porn on the internet since day one. RIAA and the lot need to know the genie is out of the bottle and a new way of doing business needs to be addressed. I buy a lot of music thru emusic simple 10 dollars a month for 3 albums a month. Then use iTunes for individual songs or albums not available on emusic.
