Reminds me of something Fergie said at ISOI 5 just a couple of weeks ago:
if only the records industry was interested in folks like Atrivo and RBN
(as they would be doing warez). Oh wait!
This seems more like a copyright (and similar) issues group, which
wants to filter valid user content (illegal or not) rather than abusive
content which damages the net's daily operations.
Right.
