RIAA sues all Internet Providers

Posted by Martin in Music Industry  TAGS in Music Industry

Well, not really. They do sue Usenet.com though because of their service that “sells access to content that includes millions of unauthorized music files” which is exactly what Internet Providers are doing. They give you access to the Internet and it is up to you, the user, what he is doing there.

Giganews updates storage and offers 120 days retention

Giganews which is in my opinion the best Usenet provider on the planet did it once again and upgraded their storage capacities to increase the retention of the Usenet files to 120 days. If you compare that to the retention level of other Usenet providers who sometimes offer a binary retention of 5-7 days you know the difference. If you never heard about the Usenet before let me give you a rough understanding of what it actually is.

Giganews offers Encrypted Usenet Access

Posted by Martin in The Web  TAGS in The Web

Oct

Giganews announced yesterday that they are offering SSL encrypted usenet access as of now. All existing users may upgrade their accounts for $5 and receive the ability to use encrypted access to the usenet and also 10 additional connections to Giganews. You do not need the additional 10 connections unless you have a really fast line at home. I always max out my 16 Mbit connection with ten connections already giving me speeds of 1.8 megabyte per second.
