A few big differences. Newzbin was charging for access to this catalog of NZB files that overwhelmingly pointed to copyrighted material. Newzbin is located in the UK under the jurisdiction of different copyright enforcement laws. My understanding is, in the UK, the standard is simply knowingly profiting from copyright infringement. Newzbin was making over £1 Million/year. Apparently they also failed to act on take down requests. Seems like a pretty clear cut case to me. It appears the operators of the site did basically nothing to protect themselves and mounted a very weak defense when they were caught.
