Do you really think that high-level programming is just C with GUIs? If so, you have a pretty limited understanding of that world. I'm not familiar with VB, but putting C in the same category as, say, Python or Scheme makes no more sense than viewing C as cross-platform assembler.
I can understand thinking that C is high level after working with assembler. I can also understanding thinking that it is very low level after working with high level languages. Both viewpoints have some truth.
I'm not particularly familiar with NNTP, and I've never used a private NNTP server. Still, I must say that this seems unlikely.
Do you have to set this up for for every combination of people you send a message to? Can you easily respond to an email initiated by someone else (including all other recipients)? Also, technical types tend to use the word "trivial" in unusual ways. In short, is this more work than just using a normal email client? If so, then the comparison is indeed largely irrelevant.
IANAL. However, I am currently taking an intellectual property law class, and this has come up more than once.
The article is a bit misleading. Unlike the rest of Europe, England has never supported moral rights theory. This is why it is not part of the American legal tradition (except for works of visual arts produced only in limited numbers).
Anglo-America copyright law is based on the notion of a public bargain. In exchange for temporary protection, the creator lets the public have all rights to the work after the copyright expires. The rest of Europe (especially France) views a work as "the sacred child of its creator." This view grants creators far more control over their creations.
However, I have no idea how all this is affected by EU law.

Well, my daughter (then 4) actually said "Wow, that looks fast!" when she saw her first black computer. How can you argue with that?
