Usenext is usenet? Holy crap, people need to learn to read or think or something. Usenext is a crappy idea, that’s like saying AOL is the internet. Usenet’s something else, if you don’t know, go read a book or something and stop looking stupid.

The internet’s dead, enjoy your restricted media broadcast network with metered bandwidth plans so only the wealthy can afford to publish anything.

They advertise to agressive all over the net& making big $ with pirated stuff etc…

Keep it quiet and low.

And make no big bucks of it.

Like someone said the releases of scene crews were never supposed to go to p2p…yeah right! Who does believe such crap.

If usenet is going to die the stuff will be available somewhere else..it has ever been that way.[/quote]

you are stupid, i used to be heavily involved in the scene (i served coffee) and believe me we never wanted script kiddies getting ahold of our shit. never p2p’d never will

if it wasn’t for those folks who fill usenet you silly little script kiddies playing with torrents would have NOTHING

I have a request to the hackers and social engineers out there: Expose these people. Not the pig rich elite hiding in mansions. Their toadies and wage slaves. Publish names, addresses, photos, habits and clubs. The guy at the top is supported by those beneath him. Now, of course we won’t be violent or commit horrible ‘crimez’ against their toadies. Just tell them politely they are doing wrong, of course!

But, I somehow think the elegant mansion and gated community slush fund will only support the top guys and their smithers… Not the 10,000+ employees just doing their jobs but living in the real world with us.

This is how the RIAA and other organizations get their news out and influence consumers… http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f09_1198188234

Honestly, to hell with p2p and torrents. They have drawn a crowd to the ’scene’ that need not even own a computer. Go back to your consoles and your word processors. We don’t want you on our internet.

NNTP is not a P2P system, nor is it specifically for any purpose other than communication. It’s system of operation is more similar to DNS than anything else with files being uploaded to one server being transferred to others higher up on it’s provision, and slowly arrives at other servers. I still remember when one of the larger usages of NNTP was for porn sharing, however the huge amount of spam on most groups tends to make it a lousy way to get anything these days.

Get back at the RIAA !!!

Bulls—. Not to you, but the industry. When I was in high school eleven years ago, MP3 was basically still unheard of in the common world. It was just coming around, and few used it. CDs then cost $17. Then the whole Napster a few years later thing and like you point out the RIAA claimed that CDs cost so much because of illegal MP3 downloading. If at that time you went to a record store or major chain a CD was… drumroll… $17. Now go to a major chain and a CD will run you $15 in most cases.

I call their argument bunk.

Most markets I have been to sell pirated films for around a fiver a piece and make a huge profit on that i guess… So instead of charging over the odds for a dvd , if Industries priced the movies at a reasonable price …people would buy them rather than the copy???
I know myself if i was offered a pirate cd for 4 quid and i could buy the original for say 6 or 7 quid, I would buy the Original…. Music and movie Industries are always saying that the reason they have to charge such prices is because of the amount of money they lose in piracy……So if piracy came to a stand still and nobody was doing it … Would they lower the price of their products ..mmmmmmm I think not . They use piracy as an excuse to keep their prices so high.

Rant Over…….

Looks like we will all have to give to give out our credit card just to look at porn not to mention Big Brother will know you like to look at porn.

Welcome to the Police State!
