I was under the impression that “the scene” mostly released to Usenet and torrents were reuploads. But also that you needed to be on some private indexers or something to find the original uploads bc they’re not uploaded with obvious titles bc of the issue of DMCA takedowns (that are honored by Usenet hosts)
Never liked paying for Usenet, so I didn’t use it very long.
The scene uploads to their own ftp servers. Someone who has access to those servers then uploads to usenet or torrent sites.
