Everything can always be misused. Usenet was originally intended for text-only messages. Later it got the capability to attach (small) binary files. Nowadays, only very few people (compared to 15 years ago or so) use Usenet for communication. If you mention Usenet nowadays, most people who know about it immediately think: "Oh, yeah, that's a nice way to get loads of illegal stuff."
Same with IRC... and many other channels that were originally conceived to share or store legitimate information.
