It seems in WA ISP's are immune to prosecution, in fact they are
allowed to traffic in questionable material.
To quote Kim Heitman "you don't shoot the postman for delivering the
mail" but I fail to see how when an ISP knows that certain material is
being routed through their news server that the ISP isn't responsible.
When I see ISP's doing something to prevent this flow of traffic,
which they can do but choose not to, then I would say they deserve
immunity.
