The scene does not sell pirated content and was never designed to do so and they also do not like to see their hard work get spread to places as public as the famous "The Pirate Bay" that you all like. They do this for fun and for the thrill because racing a 8 gb file in 5 minutes is fun. Also the guy that said that the scene uses BitTorrent trackers to move files around is a complete idiot. The scene uses FXP to move files from one topsite to another and moving one file from one topsite to ten takes about 5-10 minutes. Like I said... do not hate the scene because without them you will not get any releases on all these famous "The Pirate Bay" and other crappy sites that take all the spotlight and put it on the scene.

You've missed the point entirely. The "scene" groups don't feel "infringed upon". That's NOT the issue. They simply want to remain anonymous. Security is a HUGE issue for them. They want their file sharing to remain in house and "underground". They do NOT want the scrutiny that comes from their releases being shared on via P2P networks.

So give us an integrated tv and broadband solution with access to all content in really good quality that is perfectly legal and at a reasonable price after all one cannot watch everything at once.

Sure, strictly technically it's absolutely impressive. A thermo-nuclear bomb is an impressive piece of technology, too, but is it really a good idea if you consider the consequences? If it weren't for crackers, people would get a clue and switch to (legally) free software or just not buy software that comes with rootkits as copy-protection. It's sad people throw their rights and freedom out of the window for as little as some computer game. That way they'd also not fall for "cracks" that are actually just viruses, trojans and worms. That does not only harm themselves which I could care less about, no it's a burden for everyone else on the internet considering that these the purpose of such malware is usually spamming by forming botnets and propagation of more malware. Cracking was okay and fun back then when we had "home computers" instead of PCs but in the context of the internet age, the rise of free software, cracks cause more harm then they solve and just results in a pointless arms race with even more draconic counter-measures. Also, it's a real shame that people who actually use software for business purposes would be using cracked software. Consumers don't need photoshop, professionals who really need it earn more enough to pay for a license. In fact, you should think about this and ask yourself on whose side crackers really stand. Incidentally, "crack" is also drug and dealers are known for tricking people with free tries and make them addicted to and dependend on a fairly useless product.
