I literally wouldn't pirate anything if it weren't for scenenzbs (and houseofusenet because they sync their nzb over to scene for the API-Users).
They have everything i want in german and top quality. Never ever have i had such a complete german collection of movies and shows and audiobooks. My wife and i are into audiobooks and they have 99% of the stuff we want.
For everything else i download the .aax file from audibile with another 30 day test account and grab my activation bits to convert to .aac^^
So I need a usenet provider (news hosting seems good?) to enter into the download-client (nzbget recommended?) and an indexer (scenenzbs) to enter into prowlarr and I'm good to go? I don't need a VPN for usenet, right?
Yes, sometimes it might help to have multiple providers on different backbones if you run into availability issues.
There are currently no legal cases in Germany against Usenet like with copyrighted material and torrenting, that's mostly because you don't distribute with Usenet.
You don't need the prowlarr part. But yeah just choose a provider (paid), sign in to the the client and download from an indexer. Then unpack the files.
I found prowlarr great because it provides stats about how the different indexer perform. This makes it easier to decide which providers I don't need.
