What exactly is a Usenet group? I went to wikipedia and they say its a way of sharing news "articles", I'd be done there but usenet service providers such as giganews charge quite a lot of money and on top of that there seems to be a lot other software you need to BUY.
It seems that you can pirate through usenet groups and that like bit torrent its a way to connect to a large group of people who you can share files with.
Ok so is Usenet a paid for file sharing (legal or illigal) setup with servers instead of peer to peer?
I'm really puzzled, normally a quick look on wiki would wipe away my ignorance of most thigs (unless its a bit too complex for me) but I just don't get it. Why pay so much?
What can you do with usent that you can't with a bittorent? Or is my comparion of Bittorent and Usenet completely off.
Don't laugh
