‘Destroyed’ Usenet Provider Sues Anti-Piracy Group for Millions in Damages
The legal saga of News-Service Europe (NSE) and anti-piracy group BREIN
has taken another dramatic turn.
Once a titan in the Usenet world, NSE was forced to shut down in 2011
after BREIN took legal action on behalf of the movie and music industries.
In its initial verdict, the Court of Amsterdam concluded that NSE
willingly facilitated online piracy through its services. As a result, the company was ordered to remove all copyrighted content and filter future
posts for possible copyright infringements.
According to the Usenet provider, this filtering requirement would’ve been too costly to implement so it shut down its service but appealed the case. NSE Wins Appeal
After several more years of litigation, the Amsterdam appeals court ruled that NSE wasn’t liable for users’ pirating activities after all, but NSE was required to offer a responsive and effective notice and takedown procedure, possibly with additional measures.
Unhappy with the outcome, BREIN decided to take the matter to the Dutch Supreme Court. While NSE was no longer a threat, the case could prove
crucial for many other Usenet providers.

Хм, това дали няма да съживи news сървърите? Още повече, че в групи като
нашата никога не е могло да се прикачват файлове.

Нашата група умре. Ивайло е на фронта, Милко остаря, Димитър се обиди,
Пернатка се разболя, Румен и Ведрин по принцип се обаждаха рядка и
останахме аз и ти.
Иначе групата е умряла от години, даже и с Ивайло и Милко.
