   The same can easily be said for the Internet as a whole, in fact there's   
   probably way more people using normal websites / servers to get copyright   
   material and porn than there is in Usenet newsgroups simply by the lesser   
   numbers using Usenet.  :-(  If ISPs were really serious (rather than just   
   using it as a lazy excuse as Vodafone New Zealand did and still not   
   following through properly) they would simply not be in this business at   
   all.
