Description: Free speech groups have expressed concern over actions of 
police who seized computers owned by Voicenet Communications in 
Philadelphia.  Prosecutors claimed that the company ran a search engine 
which could be used to access pictures on UseNet which included child 
pornography, even though Voicenet did not review the content or store any 
illegal content on their own servers.  Lawyers said it was the first time 
that Pennsylvania law enforcement had seized an Internet company's 
equipment for "facilitating access" to illegal material even when the firm 
had no control over the material.
