Completely and totally false.
Giganews for example offers I think 200+ day retention on anything uploaded to the newsgroups. We're talking petabytes of data, in all genres. Only thing that keeps them legally viable is that the client side has to "unchunk" the pieces, and the pieces are never put together on their servers.. So they just claim they have petabytes of random useless data basically. Without the client software to put the pieces back together, it IS useless data.
I was talking to DDF Productions a few months ago (1by-day, hotlegsandfeet etc) and showed them roughly 60gb of their videos, downloaded and packed up into DVD format ready to be downloaded on the newsgroups. That's a drop in the bucket to what's on there. I'd hazard to say the newsgroups probably have at least 25-50 TIMES what piratebay and those torrent sites have indexed.
Only difference is no web front end really. All this piracy beef is brought up because of how easy it is for the dummy surfer to get stuff now, they only care that what was once back room is now on display in the windows.

are we still talking about mainstream movies and music on news groups or porn? If newsgroups have more porn on it then tube sites and tgps, then they have more i'll take your word for it.
I guess I meant to say TGPS / tubes have more porn surfers than newsgroups have porn surfers.
It's not like newsgroups are popular for people looking to get free porn and likely the only people using newsgroups for free porn are people who have been around for YEARS, not the most likely people to signup to your website. I would bet tube sites (and tgps) get 100x more porn surfers on them looking for porn than news groups, so i guess it doesn't matter which is bigger or has more, just what gets surfed more by potential customers. You can get full length videos from tube sites too. all of this is staying on topic with thread about free porn hurting websites, so my comments where in regards to where most people find free porn.
