No, Usenet is not a public discussion forum because it is privately
owned.

If that is the case, Mr. Kelk, would not a poster have a legal right
to go to the "private owners" of USENET and demand another poster's
removal for violation of copyright??

You don't need a "legal right" to tell somebody to do something.
Whether he'll obey you is up to him, of course.

Yes he does, as the supposed "copyright holder" of his work.

Farix does not own Usenet.

If
USENET is not a public discussion forum, then would he not have the
right which he asserts? As I've said before: The ONLY thing which
stops him from suing me right now is that he puts the stuff out here
publicly.

If USENET were a private situation, and not just an agreement between
servers (is that what you mean by "privately owned"?),

No.

I can't see too
much of a situation which would not only allow Farix to end a poster's
access to his (supposed) copyrighted material, but for him to have the
recourse, additionally to against the poster, to go to the "private
owners" of USENET and demand the person be removed from the private
forum -- just the same as a private forum on a copyrighted website
such as ANN or Animeondvd.com

You really, really should go and read the actual copyright law. That
might lessen how much of a fool you continue to make of yourself every
time you post about copyright matters.

Pick whichever one you wish. I'll wait. (And if you reply within a day
and a half, I'll know you haven't bothered to read any of the copyright
laws, and will drop the conversation altogether.)
