Re: Usenet.com is not Usenet, but a Usenet provider the fact that Usenet is on the radar now is the main problem. Usenet postings are indexed 24/7 by the community, all the riaa/mpaa has to really do is use these tools to send out takedown requests and drive the cost of service way up and the value way down. |

Dallas, TX | I believe they already do that for more popular, recent
content. But it still gets reposted.
But a takedown notice can only be honored by the
provider from which the infringing content was
originally posted to Usenet; otherwise it is meaningless.
And in the case of anonymous remailers and other such
services, they are going to have a tough time stopping
it.
