You missed it. It has happened. MIT used to run an alt.sex.bondage
stories server. Someone would read a.s.b., cull out the stories and
make them available for anonymous ftp.
It's happening again, even as we speak. The UNC public access system
is being criticized by the local Fox TV station for providing access to
``pornography'' to kids.

Rupert Murdoch rides again -- hypocritical yellow journalism at its
finest. I imagine the Fox folks would never dream of criticizing the
Page 3 girls in all of Murdoch's UK papers -- which, after all, any
kid can paruse at will.
