Gary, Guba made the mistake this week - they exposed themselves to the people they steal from.

There have been any number of "usenet resellers" out there that have sat very close to the border line of copyright violation. They come and go like the breeze.

Guba stands out because unless I truly misunderstand how their product is working, they appear to strip the newsgroup material away and they store only the images and videos. Further, it would appear that they are performing format conversions now to allow this material to be moved to ipods and PSPs.

I think they may have upgraded or changed their interface in the last year, and that their technology might have moved since then.

I would truly be interested to see what they lawyer has to say about all this.
