Here is some interesting news concerning adult oriented GIF, GL, DL,...
files.  Please read this if you have any of these type of pictures out o
your system.


Here's the text of an information release from the Electronic Frontier
Foundation:

  Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) has requested that the FBI become more
  involved in the fight to stop adult images from being distributed
  on electronic bulletin boards and the Internet.

  Senator Helms stated on the Senate floor that additional funding
  has been allocated to give the FBI and other law enforcement
  agencies a greater ability to police computer bulletin boards and
  the Internet, two of the largest sources of illegal pornography.
  Mike Godwin, working with the Electronic Frontier Foundation has
  issued a warning to bulletin board systems in all 50 states that
  federal prosecutions will more than quintuple in 1994, with as many
  as 100 investigations leading to arrests likely.

  The EFF has issued a warning to SysOps that the following files
  which depict any of the following acts are illegal in all 50 states
  and can subject the SysOp to prosecution, regardless of whether the
  SysOp knows about the files or not:

   - Depiction of actual sex acts in progress
   - Depiction of an erect penis

  The EFF does state that the law does not apply to sexually-oriented
  messages or stories, just to pictures.
