The strong bias seems to be toward Torrents instead of USENET? Why? Cost of providers with decent retention?

I always assume that Usenet (with anonymous payment and a separate VPN) is a safer option than torrenting since I'm not the one publishing / sharing content. A copyright holder would have to go after that Usenet host (with a general court order), extract logs from them (if they exist), figure out who was actually infringing on copyright, then go after the VPN provider, to deanonymize me.
