Every ISP that has discriminated against prime.org or Steve Winter on behalf of the net trash who have flooded them with frivolous complaints has faced legal action. Those cases that remain unsettled are listed here:
There have been no rulings or judgments against Steve Winter or prime.org in ANY of the legal actions undertaken by Steve Winter or prime.org in these matters.
Malicious net trash have convinced individuals at gte.net to cancel my gte.net account. My account was canceled due to alleged usenet news abuse. I hope this malicious action by GTE.NET will now make them legally responsible for their publishing of hard core child pornography from their usenet servers.
PSINet breached our contract on behalf of some net trash back in December of 1996 by blocking prime.org's access to usenet. Many of the details are available at http://www.prime.org/cwatch.htm. I hope to file a suit against psi.net reasonably soon, possibly even naming one of their attorneys as well as a vice president as defendants due to their extorting censorship of an email that showed one of their vice presidents as an accessory to the breach of contract. The email was sent to me in a barrage of harassing email by psi.net personnel sympathetic with the net trash. PSInet has also been posting fraudulent charges to my American Express Card.
Update 11/27/96: Received letter from Sen. Helms with attached response from U. S. Dept of Justice Office of the Deputy Assistant Attorney General regarding the illegal porn obtained from the NandoNet computers stating that it is up to the FBI regarding investigation and prosecution and mentioning various Federal sections of the US code including Title 18 U.S.C s 2252.
We have been the victim of a disinformation campaign, harassment, and fallacious complaints from false christians and general net trash. Several ISPs decided to cooperate with those individuals and cancel my access without cause. The remaining unsettled cases are AT&T Worldnet (where I have filed a complaint with the NC Attorney General against them), and NandoNet.
Within a few days of submitting illegal pornography (obtained as published from NandoNet's local computer) as evidence in the Federal Civil Lawsuit against another ISP, NandoNet (owned by the News & Observer Newspaper) blatantly breached a previous agreement and gave notice that they were canceling our account here for prime.org.
Update 10/96 : I have a letter from Senator Jesse Helms dated Sept 12,1996 stating that he has asked the Department of Justice to look into the matter and report their findings to him.
We have another provider now and intend to re-file the suit against NandoNet.
It is notable that the News & Observer (NandoNet) would so openly support a campaign of disinformation, harassment, and religious censorship and cooperate with with the malefactors!
AT&T Complaint Update 11/96: The complaint against AT&T has been
assigned File Number 9607197 by the NC Dept of Justice and AT&T has failed to reply to
the State of North Carolina Dept of Justice as of Nov 5, 1996
