Is it considered acceptable to repost movies or TV shows from Usenet that are not available on any open torrent tracker? Obviously, the reposted content will be left unchanged and will have the exact filename as originally uploaded by the initial uploader.
As another commenter said, please do it.
It is piracy. Do whatever you want. Who cares if someone cares.
You wouldn’t pirate a pirate, would you?
You can though it’s a bit of a roundabout way of doing it.
P2P releases typically come from private trackers, so you’re having them go from private trackers --> usenet --> public/private torrents
Scene releases that leak to the public typically hit private trackers/usenet around the same time, so you’re having those go scene --> private trackers/usenet --> public/private torrents
In others words anything you’re seeing in usenet has already been uploaded to at least some private trackers & possibly public torrents.
Of course with public torrents anything goes, unfortunately with the demise of RARBG public torrent users are only seeing a fraction of scene/p2p releases. 1337x/TorrentGalaxy does cover some of this but they aren’t covering nearly as much as the RARBG uploaders used to. So IMO if you’re seeing a scene/p2p release that hasn’t already been uploaded at 1337x/TorrentGalaxy then sure go ahead & create the torrent from your usenet download.
It’s probably fine, but some usenet trackers/provider explicitly state that you cannot do that. So check if it’s mentioned in the “user agreement”
Some indexers have a rule that clearly states users that reupload their NZB files elsewhere will be banned, so idk
Does that mean just the .nzb or the .mp4s too? I’ve been wondering.
