[...] Karl, please explain how iStar will be protected when the RCMP find more or less of the same UseNet material on their hard drives in the form of e-mail. You guys talk about location, I understand that, but what explains this... Also, if this material is illegal on iStars computer, would a citizen be out of plae in reporting this to the RCMP and challenging their fears? I would find it hard to believe that subscribing to a newsgroup would really prove any liability.. (If you want to debate this then just ask, heh)
