Mr. Grandi used an oddity of the English language called a 'synecdoche'.
This is a reference to an object by naming a part of that object, c.f.
a "field hand" or "deck hand".  UseNet refers to the bulletin board
system itself, he was talking about the larger UUCP/Internet web.

Other than that, he uses the words correctly and gets the legalities
correctly too.  Pay attention!  The Internet is being used as a "commons",
as in "The Tragedy of the Commons".  UUCP->Internet->UUCP is an abuse
if it's not government-sponsored research, or you're not designing bombs :-)

Synecdoche is your new word for the day.  Pronounce the 'ch' 'sh'.
