But whatever your opinion, you can't possible claim that GUBA is doing a public service - as if they only exist to "enlighten the public". I'd love to see someone representing them argue this in court - it would be the laugh of the day!
I am very against what they are doing. I do not see it as any form of public service and more of an inservice to those who use the adult internet as a source of income.

My point was that most do not know of newsgroups. This program is exposing the users to newsgroups by using an affiliate model. This type of exposure is only going to harm the industry and not help it.
