is usenet drying up?

[Beck38]

One can have an opinion one way or the other, but at least if folks follow some basic rules in posting (or completely forget any that they might have learned or figured out over the past years), things might bi a little bit easier.

Twice this last week I tripped over nice, large (read: full rip HD's, >30GB+) where the pars posted were less than 1%, and the server they were posted to are considered the worst on usenet (read: some fly by night euro thing that must have one of the world's worst interconnections). Neither were encrypted in any way, but although they took several hours to d/l with my somewhat slow connection, took additionally twice that due to the lean parity numbers 'enhanced' by the poor source server.

So, yes, things have changed, but there are folks out there that have forgotten the basics, pure and simple. So things may have been degraded by all the encrypted trash out there, but again, forgetting the basics, makes things worse.

Are DMCA requests the same as it was when it first started? If I were to try to get Jack Reacher, or The Last Stand, or other recent popular movies, would they be DMCA'd by now?

It all depends on which NSP you use.

Nope. They are both 'too new' (less than 30 days since Bluray release as of today) and a quick check on the good search sites show that there are a couple of the 'usual' encrypted euros trying to make money off them, but it's a bit too soon for any of the better uploaders (either full bd or most of the re-encoders) to get to either of them, although there are a couple that already have done 'quick jobs'.

And, of course, neither are p0rn (okay, some may classify that a bit differently), pro-wrestling, or low-rent network comedy (again, some may classify them differently!).

Add to that, Jack Reacher is an 'exclusive' title at Best Buy and Target (according to some info I have) so it's availability may be at this point a bit limited.

Again, WAIT for the good stuff. Their is already tons of the usual xvid and other 'low rent' rips and recodes of both, and as sure as they hit the maximum showings on the pay movie channels, their will be more.

Instantly saying that they will be DMCA'd is simply not true, they aren't in one of the categories I mentioned, and the 'qucikie' jobs haven't been that I can tell.

I can't point you in any direction as last time i did this members from the above mentioned site tried to rip me a new one for having an opinion so i stay silent now and let people find out themselves. Just watch for sites baring false gifts and restrictions and exaggerated claims of expenses.

Keep you coin in your pocket and any site worth its salt will not harass you or beg you via email. Spend time to get to know a site or sites before jumping in at there requests for "cash".

I am Admin at NZBGrabit, as you Know the trouble was what you were stating on that occasion was so far from the truth.
As any other site would you not expect us to correct any information which was wrong.

Ahem . The full 46 GB Euro Bluray of Jack Reacher has been available on torrent sites for 8 weeks. The 30 Gb remux has been available for as long. Now you are saying wait even longer for some crappy x 264.

No one has to wait. I don't know what anybody is talking about. It's been there on Usenet for 8 weeks too.

I'd call you on that, as in the 4-5 different raw indexers I monitor, that listing did not come up, although some of the folks recoding have listed it as the 'source'. You didn't list which newsgroup it was in, and there's a possibility that it's in one of the 'new' groups that have come out of the woodwork lately, and aren't being referenced yet by any of the prime indexing sites.

But really, as both are easily available by rental, it's a moot point.

I downloaded this copy a while ago, it has been out for a while. Note sure if its DCMA'd now though at work, can't use the checker here.
