That is not to say that other interconnected hub servers still wont carry them but any of the leaf servers which use the upstream hub will not have the groups.
What I also take away from what it is you're saying is that it won't be profitable for the news servers to drop those groups....so they wont and that is ok because of how news groups works...meanwhile, there is absolutely no other reason other than financial rewards to carry those groups.

Discussing this with you is pointless. You're technically wrong. Look at the paths of messages on any large news server and you'll appreciate the number of servers with which they exchange news. The old, generally hierarchical nature of news servers doesn't exist anymore.
In any case almost no news server today honors cancel messages and in the case of any individual news server if one server they exchange news with drops a group it's likely that another news server they exchange news with will still carry that group.
On profitability and finances I haven't said anything, so don't put words in my mouth champ.
You really don't get it do you ? This project is Stop File Lockers not Stop Usenet, not Stop Tubes or anything else you care to throw out there.
The title of this thread is Killing off File Lockers. We have stated numerous times that the project is limited to file lockers yet you keep coming back day after day saying we should be targeting other types of piracy.
