Re: File sharing too risky?

Newsgroups aren't available to every person freely by their own ISPs and premium pay services that are out there don't come without their limitations.. Newsgroups also aren't necessarily anonymous to the uploader/poster of material either.. I'm actually quite surprised that RIAA/MPAA and their lobbyists haven't focused on this source considering what binaries groups offer to their downloaders. I'd assume that their focus is centered around the easiest target that is the most publicised amongest fairly uneducated PC users. Although one must wonder how long this trend will last until the watchdog groups eventually set their sights higher on bittorrent and newsgroups as well...

News groups will never go away. Unless you block ip traffic from those countries where RIAA and others have no teeth.

Re: File sharing too risky?

Besides, there are still forum chatting going on in newsgroups today with all the binaries postings. Taking down newsgroups means down with all the news net forum chatter that has been going for years and years and years.
