Newzbin, the Internet’s premier Usenet indexer, has pulled the plug today marking the end of an era. The operators of the site cite the lost legal battle against the MPA as the main reason for the shutdown. Apparently, the court case drained the site’s financial resources.

and this backs up what you said ,but either way sites like TPB and Newzbin are responsible for the censorship we now face .Yes they should have questioned through the courts the decision to have shut down orders placed on them but once they lost those appeals they should have shut down instead of giving governments the opportunity to introduce censorship which could be used against other areas of the Internet
