Second, the sceners truly are elitist. They even call themselves the elite. Everyone else is “lame”.

Please ban NubCakes. He is the stupidest moron on this site and I’ve had it with his idiotic shit.

Does this mean that war has been declared by the Swedish anti-piracy bureau?

“wow as harsh as the govs are starting to get about file sharing these days maybe this type of offense might carry a death sentence or life in prison. thank GOD not as yet but maybe someday soon if these IPFI/RIAA fanatics get their way…

but seriously i smell a rat… and i dont mean to piss anyone off here but since TPB is the most recent to be squeezed i would bet that would be the correct way to look for the leak. maybe that was the deal these guys struck to get 1/2 the charges dropped? these guys could very well have had all this knowledge about these guys… it also concerned me when these other 3 guys got busted for first releases right before the TPB trial… coincidence?”

CORRECT they might use the rat to testify against TPB

this is a bit off topic but i would like to share some info that is true and most be done.

A. it does not hurt anyone to share movies and music ( and others).
B. even if you buy a nice copy of any software,or anyone wants a copy for there own needs except to make profit your safe. so fear and intimidation from these hi profile company’s like Sony, w.b.,E.A ARTS, etc.
are bull shit because the law was not really over look by the people behind close doors which need to be over turn. also what the gov, establishment,artist,record labels , and the movie industry fear losing there profits . absolute bull shit because if your my friend and wanna go to his crib, copy any data (movie, music, etc) does not breaking any laws so your not doing anything wrong. any of us in here can go out buy or copy to copy (share) is not wrong anyone may disagree but if you do your lying to yourself….

either way they can not stop us on or offline.

wont stop period .

if more laws being pass sponsors by lobbyist on closed door they will have a big prob with the people and by the people. if everyone write to political dogs , protest and demand to follow the people what they want to the core they have no other way to leave it alone because it will hurt political dogs .not only that it will hurt every one. we are the masters and they are our servant not the other way around.
i may respect some copyright laws only the ones that you have to ask permission to distribute that’s it

its very complex.

sorry for my writing .

god i love drac cards…

On the other hand, what the smart people use is what starts with the letter ’s’, for example ssl+irc, ssl+ftp (could be fsp, or a privately developed protocol we wouldn’t even be aware of), and in addition – connection tracking is made hard by bouncers or anonymity networks (tor is a good example).

Now if the laws were a bit more reasonable, we propably wouldn’t even have anything like this at all. In the .su times, “Art belongs to the people” was a slogan frequently recited, and copyright was rather more of an ethical nature. A matter of honour.

Imagine what could be created by all this “leet skill” if applied to creating value rather than peddling shite created by Hollywood.

That’s big risks for distributing hollywood blockbusters and other sh*t for free.

THOUGH, a few fansubbing groups (cough cough datebayo(sp?) are ran by jerks.

there is no one scene!!!

there is many scenes per say… they dont work together the last time i checked so everyones idea of what the scene is is different… the “Scene” was actually originally for pc games and apps only… later included other goodies… movies xbox games psx games,tv rips you name it just about anything that can be put into digital format today is all part of the scene… there is even scene wannabees.. but guess what you ppl that call some of these ppl wannabees they are part of it if they are making releases no matter how crappy they may be… there is many parts just go to a nfo site and you will see all the dif scenes… each group is in itself its own scene.. the whole premises or idea of a scene is to see who can rip what first… its not about sharing… sharing is a secondary thought for most scene… but some scene groups out there now a days esp tv rips are all about the share… you can tell me no the scene is this or the scene is that but guess what it is all that… the only true scene is about competition who rips what first.

Plus, have you seen the immature rivalries between some of these people, what the hell?

No, they’re not. If they had it THEIR way, no one at all would have access to their releases but themselves, and their group.
