No doubt their lawyers have found a legal "pin head" to sit on, and they ain't moving. It is most likely the "send us a DMCA and we will remove offending content" which is a real bullshit way to do things.

Say what you will, but encouraging the trading in usenet content is just encouraging people NOT to buy into paysites.

Great post Alex, I couldn't have said it better myself...I have been chasing copyright thieves for the last fives years in this biz (yes I am a lawyer also) so I can vouch for how frustrating it is to deal with this.
