My ISP drops some binary groups due to RIAA pressure

[FelixDeCat]

In addition, after evaluating possible copyright infringement issues, newsgroup usage and the cost of providing newsgroup access, we will no longer offer some alt.binary newsgroups. For a list of alt.binaries that will no longer be offered, please refer to our FAQ

Doesnt really affect me, since I have separate usenet access.

Didnt I read somewhere that the recording industry was pressuring ISPs to crack down on users of peer to peer software, etc. ? I think this is my ISPs response....morons! :|

cancel and go with someone else. make sure you tell them why!

i would love to cancel them, but, have you ever tried uninstalling AOL ?????

actually i just use it for dsl service. my newsgroups are provided by a separate company so my isp can go lay an egg for all i care.
