Even if the *vast* majority of content was put there by content owners (which is doubtful), that would still imply that there is stolen content. Furthermore, even using that content which is submitted by content owners is theft, since they didn't give permission for the content to be re-used on other sites.
Also, since content is indeed filtered, they don't provide "an interface to" usenet, they provide "a selection of" content on the usenet.
