99.9% of the people in TV will have no idea as to what an RAR file is and how they are used. Many of the other programs you mention are only known to the hacker / pirate community. Those that do know the hows and whys of these programs keep it behind closed doors as I have not met anyone in TV that will openly talk about using those programs.

The same would be true for Usenet newsgroups. I have been on Usenet since before there was such a thing as a web or a web browser. Remember when Usenet was the Internet? Every message had headers that were very long and things were transfered over a 300 baud phone modem. Programs were in bin format. Ah the good old days.
