Partially not true. Not sure if you're in the States or not, but
Attorney General Cuomo of New York presented a list of newsgroups that
had bad material to the Providers along with threats.

This group was (unwarranted) one of them. EN pulled it. Giganews
didn't because they don't carry bins in "fan" groups.
There's a decent documentation of the events (at least there once
was...couple months back) on the Giganews website. (where they
eloquently tear him a new A-hole for some statements that simply
aren't true.)

I switched to the new server, because EN said it was the only way to
stay current, couple months back. Never thought again about checking
the old one til last week.
