Sure, buddy. Petabytes of Hollywood movies, flac-quality albums, Photoshop standard apps, and the latest games on Usenet for a decade and a half, but some dude from GFY will be the demise of Usenet as soon as he can spare five minutes. I've heard it all now.

It's not even close to being dead. It's true that it doesn't have the range of more obscure material other places have though.

1. Are you saying they 'lost' Paypal because of you?
2. Care to list those 14 Usenet providers?
3. Care to list the Newsgroups, so we can see if they're piracy related?

Don't for a moment thing Usenet is immune to what we are doing.

Funny. Whenever anyone asks why you don't go for adult tubes, the claim is you're just going after file lockers. Must be another reason you go out of your way to defend adult tubes then.
