It steals directly from the relatively untapped Usenet, a longstanding collection of thousands of copyright-infringed, user-generated message bases where the truly bottom-feeding media mavens go to illegally reproduce and redistribute images and video they don't own. Guba is a search engine that generates a tidy profit for itself by serving as a front end for illegal redistribution of Usenet media postings.

The engine itself organizes stolen Usenet video and images into the usual buckets (Comedy, Drama, Cartoons, etc.) and sub-categories, so you can illegally download, er...browse the tens of thousands of files on Usenet in a much more economical way than directly paying the content producers who actually own the copyrights to the images. Guba also has an easy upload feature in an attempt to build its own YouTube-like database of copyright infringed clips, which the system transcodes into common formats.

It all works well because of an excellent Guba interface, and a virtually unlimited repository of stolen content."
