@sh3ll@piracy Usenet is not a network, it’s a service where you just pay a website full of illegal stuff to let you download illegal stuff. It’s like asking if there’s a way to use reddit without being impacted by spez’s decisions
@d4nm3d The original purpose of usenet was to spread news. However, you’re asking in a piracy lemmy. In the context of piracy, usenet is a system where you straightforwardly pay someone to download illegal content from them, as opposed to a peer-to-peer system like bittorrent. Obviously, some universities may use usenet to spread news, but they certainly won’t use it to spread pirated content.
