PIF stands for Pay It Forward. The originator of an edit/preservation posts a copy to a person in return for a pledge from that person to send out (usually three) more copies to others, who then in turn each send out 3 more copies, and so on.
In this case, the person who capped the broadcast chose instead to upload it to the newsgroup as a quicker way of immediately sharing it with a large number of people. There is no obligation on anyone who downloads it to forward it on.
PIF does not mean "please send me something for free". If that's what you're asking, then be clear about it. On the other hand, if you're willing to contribute blanks and postage, then say so. (For an HD capture, the raw files would span over I guess about 3 or 4 single layer DVDs.)
