DMCA takedown requests - how responsive? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in my first month of Usenet. I own several popular BluRay Movies but thought I'd save time ripping them manually and instead see what I could get off Usenet (NZBGeek + Eweka) now that my niece is visiting and needs entertainment.

I noticed a number of popular titles are consistently difficult to obtain ("aborted, cannot be completed"), even when live within only a few days, or even hours.

I assume this is a very vigilant DMCA takedown bot. How commonplace is this? And why does it only apply to some titles and not others?

Is it worth continuing with Usenet? I thought paying for content would ensure a certain "quality" of experience. So far, I'm a bit disappointed.

That's not the problem here unfortunately. This is usually a complete take down on the server side, and has nothing to do with their location.

Personally I don't use Usenet, I thought its location or some type of blocking by the ISP could be related to the problem, I think you are right and it must be a problem in the server side.
