If the EFC feels all that mighty, why don't they open up their own web server
and let everyone who has questionable material post there. This way they can
put their money where their mouth is, rather than have a ISP like IGS go broke
as a test case. It seems that there are organizations that are happy to take
on a case on principle, but have little regards to the outcome with the people
involved. This is like a union forcing an employer out of business costing
it's member's jobs, who wins in that one???
