Yep. I remember a youtube video which took half an hour explaining how to get a stuck brake rotor off a Jeep. The magic method? Hit it _hard_ with a Big Friendly Hammer.

Do you mean the people who make Tiktok videos and buy Apple products because they are fashion accessories or do you mean the young STEM enthusiasts who actually care about technology. *No, they are not the same*. For the former, no Usenet is not for them. For the latter, it could be. The attraction to a form of communication that isn't tied to a single corporation could be quite interesting. When I write about introducing people to Usenet, this is the group that I am talking about.

Indeed, they're the ones I'm referring to. Unfortunately, they seem to be
an overwhelming majority. Fortunately, they're repelled by Usenet because
it's not shiny.

That's a group worth pursuing, small as they may be. And it's not just
the absence of our favourite monopolies that Usenet offers, but also the
potential for concise, well-written text messages. I hate wading through
unnecessary cruft, and video just makes it a thousand times worse.

Their ignorance is our bliss.

Real reason was that binary Usenet was getting too big and ISPs choices were to either increase the price or remove service offering for good. When the State of New York opened an investigation on child pornographers who used Usenet, many ISPs seen it as opportunity to get rid of the service.

When the State of New York opened an >investigation on child pornographers who used Usenet, many ISPs seen it >as opportunity to get rid of the service. Yes. In the mid-aughts, Eliot Spitzer, then New York Attorney General, threatened litagation against the big Internet providers (Verizon, Comcast, et. al.) over (alleged) child pornography in the binary groups. Rather than drop those groups or the binaries althogether, the companies used it as an excuse to drop Usenet entirely.

In the US you can sue anybody for anything. That doesn't mean that you'll win, but they still have to put up a defense. If you're sueing them over something that isn't making enough money for them to pay the cost of defending it, they'll drop it just to avoid the hassle. This is one of the things wrong with the US--the courts should be the last resort, not the first one.

At the time I remember it was pretty damn easy to get a copy of a movie just after it was released from the binary groups. I don't know enough about the court system to have a strong opinion. I've heard that in some states if you bring a frivolous suit you can be liable for court costs. Maybe court procedures could be simplified to some kind of arbitration where lawyers would not be involved. I guess someone would still have to be paid for the court time. -- Dan Espen

But, yes, I agree, the postal services are not reponsible for the contents of what they carry and that same principle should be extended to ISPs.

ISPs have always claimed 'common carrier' status and declined any responsibility for the actions of their users, which in the days of dial-up ISPs hosting small websites, mail lists and USENET for their users was sensible. What is going on now is that this is being challenged by cases being brought against the big social media companies. As I see it their trouble is going to be that they are *already* filtering and blocking people and imposing conditions on content after the content has already been published. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
