It's not the responsibility of the ISP to be cops.
Im sure someone is getting paid for these moves.
Can you access porn (legally), buy cigarettes or booze if you are underage? No. Can you download "Asian XXX Episode 3" from alt.binaries.idonthaveagirlfriend without proving you're over 18? Yes. That is illegal. Additionally, when you download porn from newsgroups, you're still committing copyright infringement. Porn isn't magically excluded from copyright laws and protections.
Once again, there are no positives to carrying the alt.binaries newsgroups ... sorry but you're going to have to pony up to get your fix.
