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

As someone who used to download C64 games in the 1980s, from a BBS, trust me. Pirating existed decades before BitTorrent.

Decades.
