Posting to usenet does not put your message in the public domain. It grants permission to store and distribute the message via NNTP. Deja has the right to use iusenet messages as content because they act just as an NNTP server, albeit with a very long expire time. It may be argued, however, that adding links violates the agreed distribution standards of NNTP.
It's not the end of the bubble; it's a chance to fill it with more air. E-incubators are done, now it's time for e-creamators: consultants who specialize in poring over the flaming carcass of your dot-com and pulling out the one or two gold fillings of reusable work.
