Re: emule

Of course I would never download any copyrighted material, but this thread
did raise one question in my mind.

Why is it that the motion picture people are going after the file sharing
services like emule but appear to be ignoring usenet?

Look at many of the binaries groups on a good usenet server and you'll
find enough copyrighted material to give a RIAA or MPAA drone a heart
attack.
