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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A blast from the past just popped up in my feeds today, so I thought i’d share.<\/p>\n

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….<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n
