Back before the internet was the place it is today(porno places and brochures for everyone and a little Web 2.0(whatever that means)) it was Usenet. A place, for… stuff.
The RIAA is now extending it reach beyond the people who have no clue that their children download songs, or the people who hack into their wireless networks to download. Beyond those people in P2P network apps, they are no after the oldest networking system, Usenet.
Usenet is subscription based in use and is mainly a site for news articles. The possibility for piracy is about likely as any misuse of files.
Usenet is a private source of news articles and newsgroups. That also allows for encrypted tunneling for viewing your news and other articles. Which is pretty much why the RIAA is suing Usenet. They don't know what is happening and they scares them. There could be the phantom boogey man while traded his Russian accent for a Usenet account and Napster shirt.
