Agreed.
What a shady way to get some traffic and money.
It is things like this that will bring the ever watchful eye of the "Anti-P2P Organizations" to start setting site on Usenet, more so than they are already doing.
The more forums, websites, indexers, etc... that pop-up, the more watchful these groups become, add money making like this into the scheme and it is only a matter of time before the big lobbying "donations" start having effect....
I for one do not beleive for one second that any law thus far will "protect" usenet, at least in the states... more attention+more eyes looking+making money off it= inevitable failure.
These people should just go back to whence they came and open a "private tracker" and ask for thousands of dollars or euro in donations each month...
