RIAA Sues Usenet.com

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday October 16, 2007 @10:03AM from the not-the-same-as-suing-usenet dept.

Several readers pointed us to Torrentfreak's coverage of the RIAA's latest move: the major record labels have launched a copyright infringement lawsuit against Usenet.com. The complaint, filed in the federal District Court in New York, accuses Usenet.com of providing access to millions of copyright-infringing files and slams it for touting its service as a "haven for those seeking pirated content." Usenet.com has been refusing the labels' requests to block access to alleged "copyright infringing groups."

I was the original owner of usenet.com - I registered it in 1994 or thereabouts. I sold it to someone (not sure if the present owner or not) for six figures in the late '90s.
Heh, a google search for paulp@usenet.com (my address at the time) yields exactly one result.
