That would be a hard task in the first place. Given that news
servers
operate on a peering basis how the heck are they supposed to keep
it
out ?
It's not
even as if it's their own customers they'd need to deal with.

The only thing they could do would be to not carry binary groups.
That
doesn't necessarily prevent sharing of binaries, but it would be a
step
in that direction.

The problem is, I suspect that the availability of binary groups is
a
big draw for many customers and they'd soon go out of business
without
them.

I fail to see how the RIAA can force them to completely stop carrying
binaries quite frankly.


I agree. The peer-to-peer sites are specifically set up to and are
promoted for illegal activity. Usenet is not. Therefore the argument
will be made that the problem is with the users, not the service.

All it needs is one really BIG fast news server sited in Russia to
totally
screw
the RIAA.

But do we really want that?

Don't be silly Jenn. We already have several of them.

Sorry, what I meant is do we want to "screw" the RIAA?
