harrison, look at the site - the material is presented WITHOUT headers (manipulte) - without posting information (strip), and without the spam and whatnot. What you get is images, videos, and music - but no posts. (clean)
Sorted into sections (organized)
Remove child porn and anyone who sends a C&D (editorial control).
usenet access is that - access to a usenet feed.
Selling access to only the content from usenet in a filtered manner could be construed as reselling images without a license.
Further, as they are putting the materials on their website, they would be a primary producer unless they can show who the primary producer is. They can't show themselves as secondary producers, because, well, they don't know who the primary really is.
heh-heh.
