You can post binaries on Usenet. And a lot of the stuff is dupes (the same content being re-ripped in different formats and posted by different groups).

This is so if some of the articles don't make it to the news server or some get DMCA'd, it's possible to calculate and repair downloads. Also, due to the same claims, posters just re-upload the same thing again.
