Re: Never used one.... Such a narrow minded view of Usenet.
Sure, you can find copyright infringing material (or in your mistaken belief shaped by MAFIAA propaganda "pirated content") on there, but that is only in the binary groups. And some of that content is not infringing (open source, creative commons licensed, etc.)
Long before forums such as this were around, and even before the Internet as we know it today, Usenet provided help and discussion groups for everything you could possibly think of.
And it still does. Though some groups are so filled with flame wars, spammers and trolls, that it makes them practically unreadable. -- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they are very sophisticated idiots." - Doctor Who (from Robot)
