Unhappy Road Runner messages 'censored', newsgroups complain

Media giant Time Warner appears to be censoring subscribers to its Road Runner Net access service by corrupting newsgroup messages it fears contain pirated material.
For the past fortnight, users of the $44.95 a month service have been complaining that the vast majority of newsgroups messages are “incomplete”, making them unreadable.

While, due to the nature of newsgroups, a certain percentage of incompletes are unavoidable, in a well-run system they usually account for less than 10 per cent. Road Runner customers have been faced with over 90 per cent incompletes and the problem appeared overnight, we have learned.

Full story here.
