In 2004, a series of short TV-style shows started to hit the web dramatizing the ‘Warez Scene’. ‘Welcome to the Scene’ was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.
A blast from the past just popped up in my feeds today, so I thought i’d share.
Six years ago (wow, has it really been that long?) in a time before YouTube, a company called Jun Group created a new style of online TV series, which for pirates and geeks in general proved pretty entertaining, in an easily-pleased kind of way….
Welcome To The Scene ran for months and attempted to dramatize The Scene, the ‘place’ (for want of a better phrase) at the top of the so-called ‘piracy pyramid’ from where most illicit material cascades down to P2P networks.
The show ignited a fair bit of controversy within P2P circles and even attracted its own parody show called Welcome To Teh Scene (see bottom of this post).
The official website can be found here, all episodes here and episodes up to 15 are available on Veoh too – we’ve embedded episode one below to see if you like it – just in case you’re twiddling your thumbs today with nothing better to do 😉
