When they effectively make the internet a dangerous place, Usenet will rise from the darkness. P2P will also always exist and these politicians dont understand computer math, so a lot of what they're trying to accomplish is bound to fail.
As someone who just read the Wikipedia article on Usenet and doesn't know anything else about it: Would this be pretty much the equivalent of the internet before search engines? Because if so I'm really intrigued
Never mind search engines, Usenet was being used before people were using web browsers.
I'll read up more on it, seems interesting
