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.

Unclear what you are talking about, you mention Scene but also quote my comment about P2P. Which one did you mean? They are totally different.

The scene doesn’t do anything with torrents/usenet/etc., they are all about their own FTP servers. Yes, other people do have access to them & then spread those releases over to torrents/usenet/etc. but that’s not the scene doing it.

P2P are the internal release groups at private torrent trackers. Most of them are not interested in uploading anything to usenet/IRC. Other people do grab those releases & then spread them elsewhere e.g. usenet/IRC.
