Usenet requires you to take precautions as well.

why are you winking at me? I explained my point. Usenet is a lot safer than Torrents for the reasons I outlined and they are correct whether you wink or not. With Usenet you just download no distribution and even if you did it is all server based so no IP to trace. I do not stream I have used Usenet for nearly 20 years. The only care you need with Usenet is an Antivirus which you need with Torrents
and this bit just goes on to prove it even more. You did not even mention Usenet on your stats

Up until last year I was particularly active in the streaming community and had a lot to do with a lot of the Devs. The only streamers I have ever known to get taken to court are pubs showing Sky Sports. A lot of the Devs got warning letters only TVA and a couple of others got taken to court. Kim Dot Com is likely the biggest of the sharers you would have heard of (mega). I know also of a fair few IPTV big sellers who got taken to court also.
As far as I am aware no home streamer has been taken to court, I could be wrong but not heard of any. In the US there have been quite a number of big cases where Torrent sharers have been hit with massive compensation claims

just to add I have never heard of anyone using Usenet being taken to court and only a few indexers have been shut down by ACE
