As long as you're not the one uploading to Usenet, I don't see why anyone would be worried about that.
Considering the whole issue with people getting sued in the US from torrents was due to them sharing the file as they were downloading and were seeding it once they'd finished.
As long as you're not the one uploading to Usenet, I don't see why anyone would be worried about that.
Because downloading pirated material is still illegal.
I never said it wasn't. But show me a case of someone being charged or sued for downloading only.
Actually the whole downloading part is a grey area.
Its a civil matter, not criminal.
A good reason to use the included Ghost Path VPN in the unlimited packages.
Pointless. Your real IP would still be visible when connecting to their VPN.
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX downloaded bla.mp4.
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX was an IP from our VPN service.
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX was a connection from YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
To be turely secrure you would need to:
1. Use a anonymous prepaid credit card.
2. Sign up using a third party VPN (eg. PIA).
3. Never download using your real IP.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
It's not their VPN, Ghost Path is a 3rd party with no logs.
This post is about a deal and not the pro/cons of usenet.
If you're paranoid don't use usenet.
Find some other way to download your linux images ;)
Ghost Path is a 3rd party with no logs.
If it's on one bill, there would still be a paper trail.
Plus, they would still have your initial IP from signup.
Nobody has been to court for downloading copyrighted material, only uploading/distributing.
Thats why you configure it to use SSL, as your transfer is encrypted.
If they are seeing in your SSL then your Banking Details etc would be seen too
LOL. No. Completely wrong.
SSL encryption prevents people in the middle (such as your ISP) from viewing what you're downloading. It doesn't prevent the Usenet provider from logging your downloads (and being collected by authorities during a raid).
Only if they supply the details. Oops their finger slipped and the logs of all users were accidentally deleted
Not how it works. You seem to think the servers are actually hosted by these companies.
The authorities get a warranty to search a third-party data-center to confiscate all relevant servers owned/rented by the UseNet provider. By the time the actual UseNet staff find out (when their server suddenly go offline), it's too late for anything to be deleted.
So i signed up for this, will test it tonight. Currently pay $12p/m for newsdemon + SlickVPN. I suspect this is a rebadged service of both (ghost VPN = SlickVPN). Newsdemon and Newsgroupdirect have exact same retention and similar websites and support functions. So looks to be like-for-like replacement of my existing usenet at half the price. If it doesn't work out, i've only lost $5.
I do not recommend this mob. After having an account with them from a previous deal posted here, they terminated my account because they claimed to not be making money from the deal. Dodgy practice to offer something in the hope the customer won't use it much.
Good information Khan, ill be on the watchout. Been happy with Newsdemon over the years, might just cancel this one and stay with newsdemon if the community opinion of them is poor.
I've had a block account with them for over 5 years with absolutely no issues like that.
A block account should be fine because you have paid for a certain amount of data. However, the "unlimited" accounts that they were offering a few years ago were nowhere near unlimited, considering my download speed would have only been around 1 MB/s.

FYI for those delusional about UseNet still being an un-target secret. Everything you download could be logged by the provider and be available if they get raided.
Unlikely, but just saying.
