Tipsy, actually, it wouldn't be very hard at all to show that Guba is "reselling images".

Just get a court order to look at the data structures on their servers. Unless the posts and images are integral (IE: they have preserved the usenet) then they are violating copyright.

Selling access to it online would be no different from burning it onto a DVD and selling it.

Once you remove the usenet context and materials, it isn't just "providing usenet access" but it is harvesting and reselling the material you take from the usenet.

Sponsors and content providers around here would be really smart to take action against Guba and their ilk.
