IRC at least gets a fair amount of exposure on the media.  For example,
there was quite a lot of reporting on the Freenode takeover last year,
and most people have seen it in the movies once or twice.

Sadly, the same can't be said for the Usenet.  If someone knows about it
today, he most likely thinks it's for piracy.
