Well... if your idea of "free" content is something you don't pay for then yes, but if your idea of free content is something that was intended to be distributed for "free" then no.
Is it free if it supported by ads?
People don't use NZBGet for that reason. It is literally a platform & distribution model primarily intended for pirating content in a way that is much quicker and more reliable than torrents. Usenet would probably have died without NZBs.
