OT: Usenet finally gets some respect, sued by RIAA :-)

by Yousuf Khan <bbbl67@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 5, 2007 at 08:18 PM

Well, actually it was just Usenet.com that got sued by RIAA, apparently 
they think Usenet.com is responsible for the whole Usenet.

Also according to the article, Usenet is some ancient Precambrian relic 
that predates the Internetz, but somehow now rides on top of the 
Internetz. Maybe something like a dinosaurian suckerfish.

RIAA Sues Usenet, Decries it as 'Brazen Outlaw'
"The Usenet network is a global, distributed message-board network that 
was created in the pre-internet days, when it relied on dialup modems 
for distribution. Now it's carried over the internet. Usenet.com 
redistributes the full Usenet feed for a subscription fee."
