Thanks guys for the info. A little more knowledgeable now. This was started by a debate I was having with Damian and JT on B&B they seem to think Usenet will step in and become the replacement for pirates if laws hit the funding of piracy.
Seems they are wrong.

So a law hitting the funding will make it harder for pirates and the people who profit from piracy.
No one will stop piracy. Lets just remover the profit element and then look at the problem.
