'''What is a private / personal file?'''


A private or personal file is a file that you create for yourself.  It is a file that is not released publicly.  For example, if you reencode a file for your own use, or you remux a bunch of files together to create a new file, these are private files as they are only available for your personal consumption.
A private or personal file is a file that you create for yourself.  It is a file that is not released ''publicly on the internet''.  For example, if you reencode a file for your own use, or you remux a bunch of files together to create a new file, these are private files as they are only available for your personal consumption.
 
As a general statement, if the files were not publicly on the internet, they should not be added to AniDB.  "Published on the internet" includes:
* public trackers like Nyaa
* private trackers like BakaBT
* DDL links published on the fansub group's blog
* XDCC bots on IRC


Personal files are '''NOT''' to be added to AniDB.
