I fail to see how the RIAA can force them to completely stop carrying

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?

Oh I see. I was going to say "don't care really" but after longer thought, yes I
think it would teach them a lesson. The last people the RIAA care about are the
artists and the public and the DRM enacted at their behest is an utter mess that
regularly stands in the way of one's legitimate use of music one has paid for.
