  1. Re:Somebody violated the first rule of usenet on Newzbin Usenet Indexer Liable For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    If the vast majority of people were willing to pay then why don't they?  Nothing is stopping them from going to Amazon.com or any of the thousands of other sites and buying what they want.

    But that would actually cost them money which is something they are willing to do.  And just because Newzbin makes a profit doesn't mean their business is legit hell the guy selling stolen property on the street corner is making a profit too.

    Can you give examples of such things?

    You know what I meant. And, if you get enough money they will sell you full rights but it will cost a lot more than just a simple limited license.

    My attitude?

    You are the one who called out right-wing propaganda instead of disclaiming all propaganda.  Further more you make sweeping generalizations based on a few simple words so I ask you, what is your stake in this?  Why are you so quick to jump on one form of propaganda but so willing to let slide other forms?
