Everyone gets usenet for free with their internet connection. Sure, not the 1500 day + retentions, but certainly enough to use it. So the uploaders don't get paid, the downloaders don't have to pay. There is no money changing hands. (Yes, sure, there are some premium account sellers, but it is possible to download all you want for nothing with access that comes with your ISP account). 10TB a day is being uploaded at the last count.
