Ever DMCA a newsgroup?
 

Do whoever runs the servers comply?

Any info/tips/experiences would be most helpful.

Some do... some are just waiting to pull the trigger on the members... Most server owners are power happy little slugs that get off on banning people... Just give them a reason.

Keywords like SPAM really hit home with them.

Hey, this guy is spamming content sets all over your groups!

Really? I'll ban his ass!

I know this because I used to spam newsgroups with your old bosses content... Made mass sales... But other people doing the same complain to get you booted... vicious cycle...

BTW.... if you want to get back at the newsgroups or just make cash while beating them at their own game...

Resize photos to around 600x1000 max. Then water mark with a bit.ly code so you can track new signups...

Post sets of about 8 to 12 photos per set with no money shots in the photos...

Watch the signups come rolling in like mad. Expect your account to be banned by morning... Buy another, rinse and repeat.. Now you are making money on these idiots...

That can't possibly work anymore man. Who can figure out how to get on usenet, but not figure out how to get free porn?

So, who owns Usenet? How do you find who to complain about this spam to?

i DMCA'd my cat once

You have to do the server operators... And it is a big list...

So set A gets put on giganews.net and it gets launched out to 6 other servers who in tern each launch it out to 6 more and then those launch it to 6 and so on... It propagates over the day...

Basically you want to go after the largest servers since about 10 of them have 90% of the customer base... Google for Usenet and send them to the top 10 results.
