Even though that study is utterly flawed, it's a given that bt is the dominant form of p2p at the moment. That's really at the core of the OP's point.
As for usenet not being popular. I really, really don't understand how people spend money on seedboxes but won't spend ten bucks a month to leech all they can. It's all about epenis.
The problem with seedboxes is it fundamentally changes the way users use sites and the way people share. And I think it does so in a way that undermines some of the joy of bittorrent. Sure, not everybody is affected by them, but enough people strive to be at the top of the peer list that the scene has changed in principle.
