Are you seriously suggesting that is someone writes a story
(for
example) and then posts it to a Usenet group they could
legally
prevent it being 're-published' by other servers?...

They publish it in a newsgroup - as long as it stays in that
newsgroup
it hasn't been republished, regardless of which server it is
made
available from. Or are you going to say that bookshops
republish
books
because they have different copies in different places?

So best you shut down all the NNTP to WEB interfaces like
Google...

Whether a newsgroup is accessed via NNTP or HTTP it is still a
newsgroup. If someone selects individual posts or threads and puts
them
on a website they are creating a derivative work without consent.


You mean like Google does when you use their commercial search
engine?...
