NZB.su isn't down but you have to go to nzb.su/index.php now for some reason.

More like non-centralized sharing so there's no one server to take down. Hell there isn't even a place to send the take down notice too.

So then why have they been sending cease and desist letters to the owners of the IP addresses then?

Usenet content does not reside on one server. Dissing a service that you don't even understand

Actually they can and they have, the take-down notice goes to the site, at which point they remove it from the tracker, then only the users already connected int he peer can use it, no new users can join and if for any reason you loose connection you will not be able to reconnect to the peers again.

TPB was the first to receive these DMCA takedown notices and they complied.

Also without a very private tracker your ip address is available to all these dmca lawyers, who can then come after you directly.
Torrents are best left to noobs, morons and those who can afford massive fines and would like to adjust them room size and decor.
