iSTAR, a company in Canada, has removed dozens of UseNet
Newsgroups which they have been advised by their ill informed
lawyers are illegal. No charges have *ever* been laid and
no court has acted in any way shape or form against anyone.
In it's actions iSTAR has followed the unfortunate precedent
and have viewed dubious corporate doss bag of shit lawyer's
advice as sufficient grounds to censor ALL their clients.
Once again we see lawyers involved as de facto lawmaker,
cop, judge and jury. And companies acting on flawed legal
grounds WITHOUT REGARD to the defense of all of our human
rights and civil liberties. This is utterly unacceptable.
Corporate assets take precedence over our rights and
freedoms as citizens and we are slowly losing ground in
the battle over the electronic media. Losing to people
who put their fucking machines and gross profits over and
above our interests. People who would control our every
move, monitor our every communication if they could and
if it meant more money. Fuck them all.
We, the people, will have to resist this ongoing slide
into full blown censorship. We will have to do this
actively, by circumventing all and any attempts to shut
down communications in very public displays of resistance.
iSTAR and all the other narrow minded money obsessed and
fundamentally unintelligent organizations will have to
learn graphically that the interests of a free citizenry
to knowledge takes precedence over their fucking corporate
image and assets. A message we shall have to shove down
their throats - and that means every single citizen, okay
and not just me. Or else you all get what you deserve:
SHIT
