This ignominious first goes to none other than the RIAA.
WTF???!!! Sue USENET??? Why not just sue NNTP? Or the Entire Internet, while you're at it? This is beyond absurd. You can't sue a stream of electrons or a communications protocol.
Moreover, there is absolutely ZERO excuse for a source like Wired Magazine to refer to Usenet as "a message board." For goodness sake, the RIIA might as well sue the INTERNET. In fact, without Usenet one could build a convincing argument that there would be no World Wide Web as we know it. You might as well make the Internet illegal. It is absolutely inexcusable from publication with such deep technological roots to not defend Usenet to the utmost.
AN ALL CAPS, NETGODZ AND FOUNDING FATHERS WAG-OF-THE-FINGER AT THE RIAA!
