How would one go about using Usenet for pirating? This is the first time I've heard about it being used like that and not in old web forums

It's possible to do it for free, but I pay a monthly fee of €7,50 at Eweka (they have a really long retention) and next to that I pay 2x €10 per year for indexers.

There are setup guides online like this and this one for usenet specifically.
