I see your free speech and raise you violated copyrights and failure to follow 2257 guidelines. Explain to me WITH COURT JUDGEMENTS how you are exempt. How can you run KP images without fear?
At the end of the day, newsgroups are the home of scams, spams, KP, lies and crud. Wading through it to get anything useful is a joke, like a million unmoderated chat boards filled with scam artists, theives, and liars. Usenet could die tomorrow and the web would be a MUCH better place.
Are you saying your service does not filter IN ANY WAY usenet? Does not group, selectively display, edit, filter, remove, or in any way present information outside of it's original format?
Jim, once you start filtering (specifically editing) material, you become a producer not just a delivery method. Selectively displaying only images from usenet, example (a common business model, sadly) means that the provider isn't just giving access to the usenet but is filtering, aggregating, and yes, editing the content you see. Google avoids this problem by providing UNEDITED but searchable results, and they always present the final results in context and in format. They don't just extract the images.
Sorry, but rebroadcasting and charging access fees to material that is most certainly illegal isn't exactly a brainy business model.
