I was explaining to you, again, that Usenet has been going since before the WWW started and is free and has no advertising revenue and you can't stop it.

I was explaining that the majority of pirates do it for the lulz, not for money. So your awesome plan of removing revenue would have no impact on piracy as most people do it to be 'cool' not for cash.

I was explaining how it is growing very quickly. And is just one form of unstoppable piracy.

Stop lying and go and walk the jigsaw.

Obviously Damian is now saying that closing all other forms of piracy will not result in more use of Usenet. So he's now in favor of closing the other forms, as it will reduce piracy. Which the original thread was about. I wrongly assumed Damian with his replies was intimating control would have no effect, by the pirates moving to the Usenet as their piracy platform. Silly me.
