Dear Sri Ashok Mistri,

Thanks for your post and raising an issue which otherwise might catch one in the wrong foot!               

          As, it is the sacred duty of every parents to bestow love and affection to their children, it is also their duty to discipline them.

           Likewise an information provider also has the responsibility to some time restrict the flow as and when it is required.

           For example, if you notice that the internet access is being used more for non-academic purpose, you can always ask your network administrator to impose firewall for those machines which are being so misused. It will not only restrict access to such materials by the users, but also it may be a safeguard against possible virus attacks. This way, you are safeguarding your resources. Safeguarding the resources or the interest of your organization is not a crime at all;  rather, it is a deed of appreciation. May be you are stamped as an unfriendly individual by some of the persons, but rest assured that serious scholars will appreciate your action.

Regards,

Siddhartha s. Ray, Calcutta
