You have implied a difference between litigation and defending a criminal prosecution. I see these two as being the same. I make this point because I see you arguing the same thing I am. In the end, a business may make the decision not to carry a newsgroup because of a potential financial cost - this can be payment to a litigator, payment of fines, loss in business because they were shut down, etc. I see this as being a plausible reason for making these changes. Regards, Shaun.
