I appreciate that your discussion has moved on probably seeing as its 40+ pages long but can someone explain to me why the powers that be are having kittens about TPB or torrenting but not newsgroups where from my knowledge the big "offenders" download from? Or is the issue that the ISPS are being used to transmit the material?

Does paying a monthly fee to a 3rd party "criminal" hosting it all make it more legal cos they pay tax on their earnings?
