So you seriously believe downloading pirated material from usenet is legal?

In proving liability, the industry did not have to demonstrate that the defendant’s computer had a file-sharing program installed at the time that they inspected her hard drive. And the RIAA did not have to show that the defendant was at the keyboard when RIAA investigators accessed Thomas’ share folder.

How exactly are the MPAA/RIAA going to access my "shared folder" on Usenet?

That entire article is poorly written. It has nothing to do with 'downloaders'.

Morally, it's up to you.
Legally, you're in the clear.

There's a reason legalese is written the way it is. There are very seldom loopholes or other little things because people take advantage of that.

Just like Usenet, is 100% free and clear and you won't get sued.
