No. We believe strongly in unfettered individual freedom,
particularly in the area of electronic communications that the G8 and
specifically France have recently come out against in their 13 May
closed-door meetings. Free comunication can never be a crime, and by itself
can never hurt anyone. Criminal acts should be pursued at the point where
the act takes place, not on the common carriers that enable all individuals
to do business freely, such as telephone and Internet infrastructure providers,
road and transportation departments
and even water and power companies for providing these essential
services. The fact that public roads may be used to transport stolen goods
does not justify a stop and search of vehicles at every corner.
[So why is child porn prohibited? The criminal act, if one took place,
was not at the point of the posting and interchage of information from Havenco.
Seems that you are permitted to post only that material which does not
endanger Havenco's Internet connectivity. In more than one way, Havenco
appears to be built on the shifting sand underneath Rough's Tower. Best
of luck.]
