https://punctumbooks.com/titles/warez-the-infrastructure-and-aesthetics-of-piracy/ https://punctumbooks.com/titles/warez-the-infrastructure-and... is a good read if anyone is interested in the mechanics of the scene.

- gradstudent 4y agoWhat a great link! Reading about the topsites really takes me back. STH, ET, FS, HDS. These were famous acronyms! It was hard to get an account and you had to work hard to keep it. As a courier, I remember ending up in all sorts of groups so I could "pre" (be the first to upload) new releases. It's nice too to re-read the Netmonkey Weekly Reports. This was a weekly scene 'zine that kept score and documented all the drama.
