I have a massive stake in Usenet, namely my $10/month bill!!!
It's amazing that the copyright holders haven't gone after Usenet servers directly a long time ago. There must be some legal precedent preventing them. Indexing sites are all pretty much the same, be they eDonkey, G2, or Usenet, so it's no surprise that they're broadening their attack.
