Re: Usenet.com not the entire Usenet

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.

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.

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.
