Recently, you requested from our email autoresponder a copy of
The Agincourt Project.  You were not alone.  That document has
made its way around the world.  Law enforcement agencies, public
officials, prosecutors, ISP's and concerned citizens have all been
reading it.

And it has made a difference.  Illegal obscenity and child pornography
IS being removed from the Internet.

And now that the first round of the CDA legal battle is over, and
the focus in the battle against Internet pornography will change
back to the enforcement of local obscenity and child pornography laws.

But the issues are complex, and a single document is just not enough
to keep the public informed.  And so we have started Level30.

Since you had an interest in The Agincourt Project (whatever your
position on it), we thought you'd be interested in Level30.

To receive this biweekly (or more frequently) newsletter, simply send

About the Title - This is the Offense Level mandated by the United States
Sentencing Commission for the trafficking of child pornography often
found on the Internet in Usenet newsgroups.  (Base offense level - 17;
