Warez Group
A warez group is a tightly organised group of people involved in creating and/or distributing warez such as movies, music or software ("warez") in Warez scene, The Scene. There are different types of these groups in the Scene: ''release groups'' and ''courier groups''. Groups often compete, as being the first to bring out a new quality release can bring status and respect – a type of "vanity contest". The warez groups care about the image others have of them. Description ''ANALOG Computing'' observed in 1984 that software piracy did not make sense economically to those performing the software cracking. The primary motivation of warez groups is not monetary gain, but the excitement of breaking rules and beating competitors, although at least two Scene groups have been asking for bitcoin donations, PoWeRUp and spamTV. Individual members of these groups are usually also the authors of Crack (software), cracks and keygens. There are warez groups publishing new content outside of the ...
