Re: Usenet.com not the entire Usenet
said by Harddrive  :you just cant come out as a provider and actually say that like Usenet.com did. Exactly. usenet has many legitimate uses, but once you start advertising piracy you no longer have that argument. |

| Since when were mp3s illegal by default?
Not to say that usenet.com wasn't doing something illegal, but that line of reasoning would be like saying that yahoo games must be doing something wrong when they advertise hundreds of free games.
If all usenet.com did was advertise free mp3 downloads that's almost meaningless on its own. |

Since when were mp3s illegal by default? It's not. That's why the RIAA when to court to get a ruling. To which Usenet.com made matters worse by destroying evidence, sending employees away, etc. |

Since when were mp3s illegal by default? Ever since they gamed the system and wiped out Napster. If you say you "file trade", "P2P", "Bittorrent", "Download Music" or "Collect MP3's" nowdays that all means "Pirate... Pirate.... Pirate...."
Half of the battle is controlling the language and changing the meaning of words.
