The CanadianAlien.com website shows you how to download digital content from binary usenet groups.
Does your ISP's news server have poor content and retention?
If you have a high-speed DSL or cable
internet connection, you likely have free access to 1000's of posts from people around the world
who upload movies, TV programs, software, photographs, e-books
and more to the binary Usenet every day. This includes a mind-boggling
array of xxx posted 24/7 from around the world.
This is not the world wide web. All of
this free digital material comes from 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. Even if you do not choose to use copyrighted
or illegally distributed material from the binary usenet,
there are still 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.
Your ISP will not tell you how to
use the binary usenet groups hosted on their news servers.
In fact, they would rather that you didn't.
You could learn about it on your
own, but there are many steps and different software
programs to learn which takes a long time. Instead,
let me show you how!
If you ISP doesn't allow you access
to the binary usenet groups or has poor retention try Giganews, a popular news service provider who specialize in providing access
to the binary usenet groups and have excellent retention
and quantity of binaries.
