Scene group APOLLO caught stealing releases from What.cd?

[anon]

The battle between warez scene groups and P2P oriented 'non scene' groups (who usually release on private/public BitTorrent trackers as opposed to scene topsites) has been raging for quite a while now. Initially the scene declared war on P2P due to the easy accessibility it gave to scene releases which were meant to be shared only among scene members. However now things are a little different - P2P groups with good sources have grown in numbers and they sometimes beat scene groups into releasing some popular pirated material. With all these changes, the scene's hatred towards P2P might not just be about security anymore. It could even be because of 'competition'.

It wouldn't be the first time a Scene group steals P2P releases, although to be fair, probably none of the bigger ones do.

they should not be called scene groups now.I think owthere IP's will be banned by what.cd

I don't understand. Why should they not be called scene groups??

Stealing music - ok
Stealing stealed music - not ok

[SealLion]

yes, but doesn't just about everyone that uses BT steal.....er.....'scuze me, ......borrow music from to another.

Yes, but What.cd users do it because they love the artists. Scene groups that steal P2P releases do it to get credit

That's true. You know what else is fishy in Denmark. This here:

.........But it’s kinda ironic that even the scene member who accuses APOLLO of stealing from What.CD and trashing p2p himself is actually an active member of the BitTorrent tracker

That's from your link.

LOL. .Seriously, if that isn't warped. Then I don't know what is.
