I'm not suprised at all if the service was actively promoting illegal activity. I doubt there's going to be any snowball effect from this. Usenet is pretty watertight, if the **AA had a chance of shutting down all the usenet servers based on the NSP/ISP being responisble for the content then they'd have started legal action a long time ago. Instead, they've just been poking ISP's trying to get their servers closed with minimal effect, unless you're with the ISP in question of course.
