An obscure data network technology called the Usenet has become the newest battleground between the entertainment industry and digital music and movie pirates.
Late last month, the Motion Picture Association of America filed its first-ever lawsuits against Internet companies that help people download illegally copied films over the Usenet. The association says that the companies, NZB-Zone, BinNews, and DVDRS, provide a Google-like search service for Usenet, one that lets its users find thousands of pirated films, including recent hits such as ''King Kong," ''The Chronicles of Narnia," and ''The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

Man, it's about time they got to usenet. They've been doing stuff like that for years and years...i mean hell, that's where most of my stuff comes from...
Sooo... you want them to go after your source?
No, not at all...i'm just surprised it took them so long to find it...it's a lot more warez-riddled than even most bittorrent sites...
