"The Usenet Murders (1982)" is the 1st film in the "evil internet psychopath" genre.

It's a remake of "The Compuserve Killer (1979)" which doesn't count because Compuserve used their own protocol; the Internet was strictly for government and educational use.

The producers argued it was fair use, but the judge disagreed, and ordered the destruction of the master and all copies. The producers made "The Usenet Murders" to get something from their investment.

The producers have been very good about keeping the now-rare "Usenet Murders" off YouTube, but you might be able to find a French dub on Daily Motion, if you look hard enough.
