Default Re: NBC Dateline Show

I just saw this on the MSNBC video archive and came looking to see if anyone was talking about it.
For those that missed it, it's on their archive in four parts. Once you get to the video archive from the link below, click on the menu in the left on "News-Weather" and from there, "NBC News". Then in the video thumbnail offerings on the right you'll see 4 porn stories. Each of them has a little title.
Part 1: "Invasion of porn"
Part 2: "Toronto's porn district"
Part 3: "Hidden cameras in a Vegas internet"
Part 4: "A face to the anonymous"
There's a little scroll bar to the right to look through the thumbnail. Sometimes it'll show you a commercial, just wait through it, the thumbnail you clicked on will play after the commercial.

I tell ya, a LOT of companies got their name up in this report. And the reporters didn't have to do anything to make Python look bad - they went to the addresses listed on Python's site and what they found were a postal drop box and an empty storefront (getting ready to be a restaurant). The custodian of records for Python, supposedly this huge rich company, was a guy with a crappy apartment. (At least though, they *have* a custodian of records - if he did actually have the records there.)

Now, in defense of the Mom, I truly don't think she signed up for a site. I have an address that I *only* use for my yahoo email lists regarding homeschooling. I get porn spam on it all the time. Assholes go in, join the group, harvest the member list and then start spamming them. My home address, which I don't give out to adult industry folks and don't use at all in conjunction with the adult industry - it gets spammed. My parents don't surf porn (yes, I know this for a fact, I clean off their computers all the time) and they get more spam than they get regular email on their home Cox addresses.

Don't try to say that someone gets spam probably because they signed up for a site or something. The folks on this report have a very valid complaint, and the unethical spammers are the ones getting more and more stringent rules pulled down on our heads. Note I said *unethical* ones, Nick.
