from the 0day-warez-only,-please dept. - slashdot.com

boingyzain writes "A few guys have gotten together to create a downloadable 'television show' about The Scene--the underground network of suppliers, rippers, and coders who bring pirated releases to the warez crowd. Each episode follows the happenings of Drosnan, the founder of a large release group, through numerous scene releases. It's been so successful that it has even spawned a spoof named Teh Scene; imitation is the best form of flattery, isn't it?"

its been /.'d so don't expect this site to load fast for a few days

I've only watched the first episode but it was very interesting. I'm looking forward to downloading and watching the rest. This is a great find and will definatly become a regular on my "to visit" list

Watched the first 5 eps... interesting so far, although the whole cloak & dagger thing cracks me up. The way they get pissed if it's released by another group first. I'm pretty certain it wasn't always like this in the warez (software) scene.... read some interview a while back with one of the leaders of an audio software cracking group.

Either way, it's interesting to watch, I'll be continuing to watch them, especially seeing as there's no stargate or startrek eps to download.

To be fair, most kids take cracking for granted, to them it's just some magical invention that happened when Windows 95 came out. Most people don't even know its origins...

Back on topic: intersting idea. But:
1. Unrealistic, several simple "noob" errors I saw :P
2. Unrealistic, doesn't happen like this? I don't know how else to explain it.
3. Bad way, it's not filmed very well. If I wanted to watch a video of a guy typing on chat programs, I could do it myself. :P
4. It is a show about "the scene" but yet it focuses more on the characters and development of different groups of people, that's all. Doesn't deal with much realistic stuff.
5. Overall, lame. :P

ps: tehbroken ftw! (actually, it's newb too, but I think it's atleast funny, because they are not trying to be great)
