I found about Usenet and the sort of "hype" relative to it and I wonder some stuff.

Maybe I'm a bit old school but is this process not against the spirit of piracy,

Just wondered it, if someone wants to give his opinion

But what's your opinion about it, because don't you think it's opposed from the original torrenting piracy spirit?

As someone who used to download C64 games in the 1980s, from a BBS, trust me. Pirating existed decades before BitTorrent.

Decades.
