I sure am. So I've done a little bit of investigating. I've managed to track
down the perpetrator of all the obscene messages sent to the newsgroup over the
last week or so.
Here's what I found...
The domain for all the Spam points to a server ran by a UK company called
"VoulezVous Entertainment", biased in Kent (UK) from what seems to be a home
address.
Now, the type of images on the site is illegal in the UK, so I've reported the
company to the Police over here.
There has been the 'ploy' in operation which the Spammer will use to try to
justify his actions - he will claim that the sites pointed to by the URL have
been closed down, yet even so - they still provide links to pornographic images.
Heck - they even have porn on the page telling you this!. If, as the guy claims,
he is a 'responsible' Net user - why does he still allow pornographic pages to
be accessed in this way? A way which minors are able to gain access. It's just
not on - and it's got to be stopped.....
Get some answers! Why not phone the Spammer up at home, and ask him *why* he is
posting all these messages to music newsgroups?
If you want to verify these details are correct, go to the internic domain
search and enter the domain 'www-18.com'. You can find one such search engine at
Netlink:
