Usenet.com *the company* is a sleazy binary aggregator company that managed to get its hands on the domain name usenet.com and tried to make a buck off it, then destroyed evidence when the RIAA took them to court. No legal precedent is being set here beyond "don't piss off the judge". Chances of an RIAA lawsuit doing anything against the actual filesharing that continues to go on over usenet, the *network protocol*, accessible to anyone with an internet hookup for *free*: 0%.

They are just a service that was apart of the larger Usenet, and offered memberships for people to access the content.
