Usenet is (quite) dead for years anyway. ;)
1. Some of my friends use it actually. They pay for it monthly.
I know: Paying for it doesn't make it legal. But they think so, because they just download files (not upload).

2. And sorry: Usenext is that, what I mean... :P

1. They pay for Usenet..??? Strange.
2. Well, just another rip off, imo.

Well it rather depends on what is being shared and the intent, were sharing of copyrighted media was just one side of it. The charges went much further than just that and I rather think that those charges were the reason for the shut down.
