Legal issues

While binary newsgroups can be used to distribute completely legal user-created works, open-source software, and public domain material, some binaries groups are used to illegally distribute vast quantities of commercial software, copyrighted media, and pornography, the last of which has its own legal implications in some countries.

For example, some binary groups such as alt.binaries.warez.* exist solely for the illegal distribution of commercial software, though this true purpose is usually hidden under the facade that the group exists to permit people to "evaluate" the full, licensed version of a product through software cracking or using a serial numbers list, and without instead asking for a software company's permission to do such an evaluation.[3]

ISP-operated usenet servers frequently block access to all alt.binaries.* groups to both reduce their network traffic and to avoid all the related legal issues. Commercial usenet service providers claim to operate as a telecommunications service, and assert that they are not responsible for the user-posted binary content transferred via their equipment. In the United States, usenet providers can qualify for protection under the DMCA Safe Harbor regulations, provided that they establish a mechanism to comply with and respond to takedown notices from copyright holders.[4]

Removal of copyrighted content from the entire usenet network is a nearly impossible task, due to the rapid propagation between servers and the retention done by each server. Petitioning a usenet provider for removal only removes it from that one server's retention cache, but not any others. It is possible for a special post cancellation message to be distributed to remove it from all servers, but many providers ignore cancel messages by standard policy, because they can be easily falsified and submitted by anyone.[5][6] For a takedown petition to be most effective across the whole network, it would have to be issued to the origin server to which the content has been posted, but has not yet been propagated to other servers. Removal of the content at this early stage would prevent further propagation, but with modern high speed links, content can be propagated as fast as it arrives, allowing no time for content review and takedown issuance by copyright holders.

Establishing the identity of the person posting illegal content is equally difficult due to the trust-based design of the network. Like SMTP email, servers generally assume the header and origin information in a post is true and accurate. However, as in SMTP email, usenet post headers are easily falsified so as to obscure the true identity and location of the message source.[7] In this manner, usenet is significantly different from modern P2P services; most P2P users distributing content are typically immediately identifiable to all other users by their network address, but the origin information for a usenet posting can be completely obscured and unobtainable once it has propagated past the origin server.

Also unlike modern P2P services, the identity of the downloaders is hidden from view. On P2P services a downloader is identifiable to all others by their network address. On usenet, the downloader connects directly to a server, and only the server knows the address of who is connecting to it. Usenet providers do keep usage logs, but this logging information is not casually available to outside parties like the RIAA, and is normally accessible only through a police search warrant looking for information on specific users.
