I just read how to geek about usenet. It is puzzling to me that a paid provider is necessary to access usenet.
Can anyone explain why this is? It seems odd to me that this formerly “free” resource is now sort of paywalled.
This is what I never understood. Also how can this not lead to issues being compromised downloading illegal stuff from your service provider who knows exactly which customer has which IP at which time?
