To an even greater extent, you could argue that "everyone" is paying for content they should be paying for in the first place through their monthly ISP bills.

Heck, I know people who pay upwards of 60-120 bucks a month for a dedicated server overseas to run dedicated torrent clients on! :D :o

I find it more hypocritical though.

I do use Usenet even though there isn't one piece of pirated software on my PC, from the OS to Office, to Adobe CS3 or all my games.

However the only place I can watch Battlestar Galactica in 720p is Usenet, so there you have it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606219 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 11:01:58 EDT Re: Usenet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606209 openbox9 : You don't see irony in people complaining about paying for the ability to obtain content that they should be paying for in the first place?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606209 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:57:51 EDT Re: Usenet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606184 TigerLord : I fail to see the irony in my statement.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606184 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:51:31 EDT Re: Usenet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606177 openbox9 :

Usenet with an encrypted SSL connection is the only safe way to get what you need.
You mean besides purchasing the content via an authorized mechanism.

Some people will say they cannot afford a subscription.
I love irony.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606177 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:50:13 EDT Usenet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606071 TigerLord : Usenet with an encrypted SSL connection is the only safe way to get what you need. And the fastest as well.

Some people will say they cannot afford a subscription. I agree Giganews is pricey, but there are other alternatives.

I however think it is highly hypocritical that people whine Usenet is too expansive when they use Bittorent to rip hundreds of dollars worth of software or media each month.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606071 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:20:52 EDT
