lead plaintiff. Co-plaintiffs are being assembled, but the list

NEWS RELEASE
------------------------
Release Date: February 2, 1996
Contact: Bob Anderson
OCAF Targets Internet Service Providers in Battle Against
Internet Pornography
Document to Assist Law Enforcement Is Distributed Nation-Wide
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK: Bob Anderson, president of Oklahomans for
Children And Families (OCAF), announced today the
organization's campaign to eliminate pornography from the
Internet. OCAF has identified the local Internet Service
Provider (ISP) as the party primarily responsible for
the distribution of the majority of illegal pornography on
the Internet.
According to Bruce Taylor, Chief Legal Counsel for the
National Law Center for Children and Families, criminal
liability is clearly appropriate for this intentional
conduct in distributing illegal obscenity and child
pornography, just as for any other wholesale or retail
merchant of illegal pornography.
OCAF has made available a document, entitled "The Agincourt
Project", which helps law enforcement agencies, and the
public, understand the Internet and understand the ISP's
role in the distribution of illegal pornography and child
pornography. This 35 page document can be obtained by
sending a blank email message to "•••@••.•••"
(the document will be sent back to you via autoresponder
email).
In order to obtain the widest possible distribution of the
document, OCAF has:
- sent notices to law enforcement agencies
- sent press releases to local and national media
- posted similar notices to appropriate Internet
newsgroups, forums, and mailing lists
- sent email notices to religious and child protection
agencies
PLEASE, obtain a copy of this document and follow the
suggestions in the Action Plan. We need your help.
WE CAN ELIMINATE PORNOGRAPHY FROM THE INTERNET!
Please send any email comments to •••@••.••• or

Subject: New discussion group "CDA96-L" = COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT of
1996 (fwd)
In light of the recent furor over the airwaves, in the media, and in
lawsuits regarding the COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT of 1996 that United
States' President Clinton signed into law on February 8, 1996, I
have created a forum for people to discuss the concerns raised by this
(and similar) pieces of legislation.

DESCRIPTION:
CDA96-L is open to the networkng community. Its primary role is
to serve as a means of communication among people who are concerned
about the implications of the United States of America's COMMUNICATIONS
DECENCY ACT of 1996 (signed into law by President William J. Clinton
on February 8, 1996). Its secondary role is to serve as a discussion
forum for similar legislation or regulation that may be in the formative
or final stages in any other country, or at any local jurisdiction that
would restrict, limit or inhibit use of Internet resources based on
"decency", "morality", "offensiveness", or based on the age of someone
using, operating, or accessing an Internet resource.
SUBSCRIBING TO THE "CDA96-L" LIST:
Anyone may subscribe to the list by sending a <sub cda96-l your name>
