My DSL service provider has teamed up with prodigy and they have decided to eliminate certain alt.binaries newsgroups.

"Which newsgroups are being eliminated? Groups that will not be offered are alt.binaries with some combination of the following suffixes: sounds, mp3, cd.image(s), movies, multimedia, warez, vcd. Due to their nature, these are the groups that contain multi-part postings of digital files that are likely to contain copyrighted material"

Is this the wave of the future due to the whole Napster affair?

Like I said it sucks, but it will probably be a shot in the arm for the porn industry due to the fact that thousands of subscribers will be without their free porn and will either have to:

#1 Pay for a nother newsgroup provider i.e. easynews

#2 Hit the galleries and possibly sign up for a paysite.
