Article about HavenCo

Brian Stretch writes "This article published in the Ann Arbor (Michigan) News about HavenCo might interest the /. crowd. Didn't know Sean Hastings was a local boy. Community High grads come up with the weirdest stuff..." Not much news here if you read our previous stories about HavenCo and Sealand, but does include a few words about HavenCo's future plans...

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson...

... Havenco Ltd. has just three rules: no spamming - sending bulk, unsolicited e-mail; D'oh!
...no crashing or attacking other computer systems with computer viruses or by other means; D'oh!
...and no transmission of child pornography. D'oh!
I mean, woo-hoo!

Money Laundering

Wow, if those are HavenCo's only rules then it would be great for money laundering.

Re:kiddy porn

distributing kiddy porn desnt harm anyone either - its just morally offensive. And no, no-one abuses kids just so they post it online.

Well, I think there's a fine line between nudie pics of children, child erotica, and kiddy porn. And yes, it has happened that people abuse kids just to post it online. I don't have a link at hand, but you could search for such info on the web, and find out about several cases of child abuse related to the Internet. Of course, as usual, I think the Internet is more of an effect than a cause; child abuse has been around way before the Web, and still goes on in places where they have no idea what a modem is.

I just hope they don't blame the messenger (the Internet) instead of focusing on the real causes of people behaving like that.
