I thought Usenet decoder type sites had been found guilty of this a long time ago.

We do notice and takedown/censoring/blocking. Since most of the content on Usenet is ads for adult websites, our normal users will signup with us, find the stuff they want and then signup with the site that posted the content. So we haven't had much of a problem. On the occassion that a webmaster contacts/notifies us of their content, we can sensor it, but of course surfers can still get it from another newsfeed provider for free.
We work with law enforcement to track down illegal posters as well. Also, since our site is open you can find all the posting headers of the person that posted the file, right down to the isp.
There are hundreds of usenet companies out there like 2jacks.com and pictureview.com but I think our technology is better.
