I found about Usenet and the sort of “hype” relative to it and I wonder some stuff.
Maybe I’m a bit old school but is this process not against the spirit of piracy,
- be generous to share
- fight against censorship and DCMA takedown
- work in a decentralized way
Just wondered it, if someone wants to give his opinion
Usenet’s been around in its current form since 1987! The problem for pirates is finding decent providers who serve binaries. I used to use Easynews as they had great retention and they seem to still be around.
Usenet is decentralised, but - as mentioned elsewhere - relies on a handful of providers to service the binary groups.
