Usenet has become increasingly centralised as the demands of running it go ever higher and with the advent of DCMA takedowns is becoming less and less valuable. Ultra-high bandwidth binary Usenet is probably living on borrowed time and people really need to be aware that their EU hosted services will be in strife should the EU sign the TTIP with the USA.
Can't say I'll be sorry to see it go.

I agree it's on borrowed time. If you use them correctly, it's easy to find content that hasn't been taken down but it takes a fair bit of investment (Time and money) to do this.
It seems to be shifting towards streaming via torrents anyway, via the likes of popcorn time which has a built in VPN. Not entirely sure how they manage to run that all but I imagine they'll start charging at some point and in that instance you may as well just pay for netflix.
