The p2p networks aren't hosting the content.
p2p = peer to peer = user to user.
If Guba was just to show the usenet in an easy-to-view method, they wouldn't be liable..but they rip all the stuff to be hosted on their own server.
A p2p network would be shutdown in a week if they hosted all of the mp3's on their server.
If you can't see what's wrong with their biz model, that's your problem. I have a problem with how they run their shit..but that's my problem.
I did have plans to not get involved in any of the 100000000's of guba threads..but I got lured into this one. I'm out.
