    Laws written before the digital age regulating digital age things are the best.

    Feels like a good part of the reason for Usenet to begin, I would like to try but I feel some bit obliged to provide for as long as I’m able. Thanks for your rundown, internationally differing laws are confusing

      I am 70% sure this is correct, i remember vaguely: The swiss law was written in 2019 iirc. The idea is that there is a high tax on drives/usb sticks/dvds and all such devices. This gets distributed to copyrightholders in some way. And uploading is illegal.
