Guba and the OLD Napster are VERY much alike... Only, the OLD Napster didn't charge a fee for the service.
The content is on GUBA's servers... OLD Napster stored the user file lists on their servers...
The content being 'traded' is STOLEN in both cases...
In both cases if the users quit going to paid outlets authorized to dispurse the content in question then the content producer will go out of business...
There are NO differences. The ONLY way newsgroups can be a viable content distribution medium is if the sponsors can decide on the terms. The only profitable terms are to include watermarks in pics and to only allow content already released as affiliate promotional material to be used. ie, FHG content or released set zips.
In this case the users type in or in some cases click a link in the post (though you cannot do this at GUBA (put a link in a post)) and then buy the website in question.
