stop being so paranoid about safety ffs. they'll be going after Bittorrent long before Usenet.

i used Usenetserver for over a year.....they have issues at times but i was too lazy to switch. they've been much better recently, increasing their retention and providing Encrypted UseNet Access if that'll make you feel better.

you ought to check it out for a month....you'll never give it up.
there is ample content available via Bellsouth's newsgroup servers - that's what got me wondering...and just cos i'm paranoid doesn't mean there aren't legions of Big Media's legal goon squads out to get people like me

but UseNet speeds and the utility of progs like NewsLeecher make paying a few bucks per month pretty attractive - particularly if they offer additional anonymity.
