Filesharing Software → Re: long term viability of usenet?

I switched to usenet 11 years ago and never looked back. No one knows the future but for now I have no intention of changing.

I think there is a limit to how much longer governments will allow usenet to be a source of binaries downloading, but I can still find almost anything I seek. With torrent trackers publishing the address of every user of torrents, it's even harder for me to see continued prosperity in the future for them as well.

Isn't nice to know our benevolent Uncle Sam has turned into this out of control raging control freak. Sickening.
