I found about Usenet and the sort of "hype" relative to it and I wonder some stuff.

Maybe I'm a bit old school but is this process not against the spirit of piracy,

  • be generous to share
  • fight against censorship and DCMA takedown
  • work in a decentralized way

Just wondered it, if someone wants to give his opinion

...is this process not against the spirit of piracy

It could be against the anti-establishment values of some digital pirates, but it's not at odds with the nature of piracy itself.

Piracy on the internet is just distributing digital goods protected by intellectual property law without the permission of the copyright holder. Some pirates engage in this practice for political reasons, but for many others it's simply a matter of economics or availability.

Being young and poor, it was not a choice

Being middle aged with income, yes, it is political, parasitic behaviour will not be tolerated.

They made their beds, I am too far radicalized now to pay anyway. I spend 15 years of my life paying... Fuck em
