This seems more like a copyright (and similar) issues group, which
wants to filter valid user content (illegal or not) rather than abusive

Behind the lobby are AT&T, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, NBC Universal, Viacom
and the Songwriters Guild of America. Among other things, the lobby,

file-trafficking which threatens to congest and delay the network for all
consumers."
