Is the book scene run like the warez scene used to be? Who are the major players in the book scene (QuarTeX, RaZoR 1911, TRSi, ParaDoX, DefJam & CCS, ProDigY, FairLighT). I'm guessing these sites are like the old WHQ BBS's. Is is absolutely amazing and fascinating how the 'scene' has evolved over the decades and is crazy and impressive that books are part of it. What is the demand of the book scene vs the music, warez, movie scene at the moment? I know that books are smaller that 1080p movies and software. Absolutely fascinating \o/
