Well said Karl !!

If ISPs would just require service users to sign a simple agreement making
it a 'breach of contract" to upload or download child pornography while
connected from their service the Internet would not be subjective to
US Congressional Legislation based on media hype.  It is well established
in the US that First Amendents rights do not extend to the exploitation
of children under legal age.
