unfortunately, i think they are in some soret of legal loophole, and until someone steps up and sues the pants off them and wins, they will stay around

I don't see how that can be legal. I know about usegroups....anyone around longer than a half second knows about them. Hell, we used them for our paysites back in the day, with watermarked images for the surfers....

My guess is they are operating in some grey area that hasn't been challenged yet

Last time I checked you could find the entire lightspeed catalog up there, resized and shit....and the videos that they grab they also reformat them for ipods now

Ahhh.. the lovely legalities of law and the area all lawyers love their clients to exploit because it makes them money. That ever present grey area of the law....
