I found about Usenet and the sort of “hype” relative to it and I wonder some stuff.
Maybe I’m a bit old school but is this process not against the spirit of piracy,
- be generous to share
- fight against censorship and DCMA takedown
- work in a decentralized way
Just wondered it, if someone wants to give his opinion
Usenet has splintered into text and piracy. Text is low volume and many servers can peer with yours for free. Piracy is more centralized, gets spammed like half a petabyte every day, we know that because 99% of “the posts” never get downloaded even once, it’s commercial because of the huge storage requirements.
