most of what you download are releases by what are known as scene groups, an organized but independent group of content providers/pirates. A few weeks back, a major scene group got "busted" by the US FBI. Since then, the other scene groups have been essentially laying low, as to not draw any unnecessary attention to themselves. Things are, and will continue to, slowly coming back to normal.
That's some load of bull.
A "scene group" cannot be "busted" physically .. because it's not a group of real persons.
Like the Feds would raid some secret basement ... lol
But then again, that's what you would expect ... right?
" .. and then the Feds were like "BUSTED!" and all the other groups were like "WHOA!" "
c'mon ...
The closest them Feds can get to busting a scene group is: "Script was Terminated"
No, i can not elaborate further.
The reason why the releases went away is .. they didn't
Just because one can't see them, doesn't automatically mean ...
It's a counter-measure to 'something' that was changed recently.
Whenever you "visually" see News of some punks get hoisted by the Feds,
'Those' aren't part of the scene, ethically i might add, because their goal is profit
on a scale you wouldn't dare to imagine.
That's the only angle the Feds are (legally) able to pursue.
