They ARE out there on the Usenet, so why not offer access to them as well? I'll tell you why. Because everyone involved knows that the MPAA and RIAA would rip them a new asshole with all of the piracy suits and would shut them down before you could shit yourself (same way that got many of the BT sites shut down). The bottom line is that these companies think that it's ok because none of the porn companies have gotten together and thrown BIIIIIG money at a lawsuit (not to mention, many don't have the pull that the MPAA and RIAA have).
