Usenet is under attack.

A lot of TV/Movie companies are starting to send DMCA requests to usenet providers.

The other day SabMini a iOS client for sabnzbd had to remove support for sickbeard(a PVR for usenet)

I think we are seeing the systematic destruction of Usenet.

Usenet won't go away but just become harder. Releases won't be named correctly to avoid getting DMCA notices.

Looks like someone broke the first rule of Usenet...

I have seen no evidence of this destruction.

In the last two or three months I've found it increasingly difficult to find new postings under their titles on my Usenet provider. I wasn't sure initially if it was their search function that was broken/corrupted, but asking Helpdesk doesn't help when they cut you off if you ask for assistance on copyrighted material. Finding another term that doesn't give replies but that should be there, as an alternative, is rather tough.
