If you have a
high-speed DSL or cable internet connection you have access to a
mind-boggling array of digital material from around the world.
This is not the
world wide web. It is the
underground internet or as it is formally known, the binary Usenet.
Usenet groups are called newsgroups. Only 5% of internet users know how
to use the binary Usenet to get free digital material.
Some of the
material in the binary usenet groups is copyrighted or are illegally
copied and distributed. There are many arguments, pro and con,
regarding the legality and ethical issues surrounding peer-to-peer
trading of copyrighted material. Use your judgement and follow your
sense of ethics and obey the law. There are lots of shareware, freeware and public domain material
available in the binary usenet groups.
The status-quo
regarding the use of copyrighted digital multimedia cannot be
maintained given the amazing ability of the internet to circumvent
restrictions, such as usenet distribution or peer-to-peer transfer of
material. This makes it nearly impossible to effectively regulate these
kinds of activities. Also, there is no reason why today's business
model has to be tommorrow's model. Things change and smart people
adapt. This means that not only business should adapt but the state
should too and avoid trampling on the rights of people to use their
lawfully purchased copyrighted material in reasonable ways.
Yes, people
should be paid for their inventions and creativity. If the existing
system was changed, then this could happen while allowing more flexible
access to the material. In any regard, this is an evolving issue with
lots of vigorous debate. Unfortunately, it appears that the what is
happening is protection of entrenched interests and a stifling of new
products and services.
Anyways, the
people using the binary Usenet belong to an elite group.
- Only about 3% of broadband customers are
responsible for the bulk of traffic on their ISP's news servers.
- Given that broadband internet access is
only used by about 30% of residential customers in North America, less
than 1% of residential customers are significant users of the binary
Usenet.
One requires a
relatively sophisticated level of knowledge and some technical
proficiency with a computer to obtain and use the material from the
binary Usenet.
It is not
surprising then, that many technological advances have come from the
binary Usenet community including advanced compression, file recovery
and multimedia tools and procedures.
Read through the steps on this website to learn about the binary Usenet.
Enjoy.
