you can bet your bottom this fact''Federation Against Copyright Theft Limited''will be into all nzb providers now by attacking the index list making sites like nzb matrix take down massive amounts of copyrighted movies and other copyrighted items, changes in the usenet indexing this looks bad all round for us downloading they cant get the server providers so they will go after the next best thing the index system that list content.


And why aren't they able to get the server providers?


It was probably cheaper to force or induce the closure of index sites that are done more as a love of community than of profits, not make nearly as much as the usenet providers themselves. These index sites, I'm sure, understand the legal costs and risks of continued operation if those options were presented to them. With the majority of them down and out of the way the providers themselves will see a reduction in revenues and may not put up a fight when they fall into legal pressure to close up shop.
