DOSee pronounced dos/see, is our emulator used to run MS-DOS based software in your web browser.

MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS) was the primary operating system used by PCs during the 1980s to the early 1990s and is the precursor to Microsoft Windows.


DOSee is a slimmed down, modified port of The Emularity.

The Emularity is a multi-platform JavaScript emulator that supports the running of software for legacy computer platforms in a web browser. It is the same platform that's running emulation on the Internet Archive.

EM-DOSBox is a discontinued, high-performance JavaScript port of DOSBox that is applied by The Emularity for its emulation of the MS-DOS platform.

DOSee uses BrowserFS ZipFS and ZipFS Extras to simulate zip file archives as hard disks within EM-DOSBox.

DOSBox is the most popular MS-DOS emulator in use today and is frequently used by commercial game publishers to run games from their back-catalogues on modern computers.


DOSee, built on The Emularity, EM-DOSBox and DOSBox. Capture screenshot and save function built on canvas-toBlob.js.

Their plan is to ║ ║ completely eradicate software piracy off of the Internet by the ║ ║ year 1997; and they are well equiped to do just that. I know for ║ ║ a fact that many members of the different groups over the past ║ ║ year are in fact Microsoft agents working on this investigation. ║ ║ They will definitely take out anyone they want. I mean, who are ║ ║ we kidding here... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Sice September of last year, Microsoft, IBM, Lotus, Core, Autodes, ║ ║ and a few other companies have worked together in an "Internet ║ ║ Anti-Piracy Campaign". They have been working undercover in the ║ ║ warez scene collecting information about the various groups and ║ ║ their respective members. They would seek out information such as ║ ║ who supplies and who couriers, etc. In your opinion, is the warez ║ ║ scene not to be as trusted as before, and that even you or I could ║ ║ be an undercover federal agent? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Absolutely. How can you even think of trusting someone you will ║ ║ never in your life met. I mean, a handle could be anyone; it ║ ║ could even be Bill Gates you're trading the newest build of ║ ║ Windows NT with. How can you know for sure who you're talking ║ ║ to. It is just not worth it. I could be looking at up too ║ ║ $25,000 in fines and/or 8 months in jail for every offense! ║ ║ That's every ware! That's insane! And all these lamers on IRC ║ ║ who say "Oh, the feds don't care about courier groups, it's all ║ ║ bullshit! Distributing copyrighted software is just as bad if not ║ ║ worse than the person who supplied it in the first place. The ║ ║ supplier gives it to one person. The couriers give it to ║ ║ thousands of people! How would you know if I am a federal agent or ║ ║ not, and how would I know if you're not. It's simple, the ║ ║ Internet is an imaginary world, where people can be whatever they ║ ║ want. The federal agents who are working with Microsoft are ║ ║ taking advantage of that. There's no such thing as entrapment on ║ ║ the Internet. They don't have to tell you jack. In fact, about ║ ║ 99% of all narqs are not federal agents. They are usually just ║ ║ students or Microsoft employees. The federal agents are just the ║ ║ guys who take the information these people hand them and then go ║ ║ kick in your door. They just pick up the scraps when Microsoft ║ ║ has enough information on you. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How long have you being in the scene? And in your opinion, do you ║ ║ see the scene dying out as many veterans are starting to leave the ║ ║ scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I've been a major part of the scene ever since the C64 days. And ║ ║ as far as I am concerned, the scene is all but dead now. I mean, ║ ║ there are a lot of great people left, but how can you possibly ║ ║ hide from these huge companies? If you have half a brain, you'd ║ ║ get out of the scene before these companies get you. It's just ║ ║ not worth it. I would that couriers are in EVEN bigger shit than ║ ║ suppliers. From my observations, they apparently don't really ║ ║ care about the games scene. It's the utils they are after in a ║ ║ big way by companies such as Microsoft, IBM, etc. All the big time ║ ║ elite dudes I used to know have either retired, or have been ║ ║ busted by now. With all these new people coming in, I would say ║ ║ that 2 out of every 10 work in some way with Microsoft, the SPA, ║ ║ or some other government agency. It's just not fair, we can't ║ ║ win... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What happened on the day you of your bust? Did they let you go? ║ ║ Did they confiscate anything? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I was out of town on business. They came to my house, kicked in ║ ║ the door and confiscated everything that had anything to do with ║ ║ computers, all my systems, monitors, cables, books, notepads, ║ ║ scribble pads, scraps of paper, etc. If you walked in right after ║ ║ they left. You would have no clue that I had anything to do with ║ ║ computers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did they charge you with a crime? Did they take you to jail? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I was not arrested. And I still have not been charged with ║ ║ anything. They are going through my systems with a fine toothed ║ ║ comb as we speak... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you have a lot of pirated software on your system? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Well I am not really in a position to say. Who knows who will be ║ ║ reading this. I will say that I considered myself untouchable for ║ ║ the longest time. I mean, I always heard of people getting busted ║ ║ and I was always said, "Oh shit, that guy's screwed." But it was ║ ║ never supposed to happen to me. It's like something you watch on ║ ║ television. But I'll tell you this. I was one of the most ║ ║ careful people out there and they got me. That means they can get ║ ║ anyone, anytime, anywhere. No questions asked. Whenever I see ║ ║ people saying, "Oh they'll never get me, or I'm not worried. I ║ ║ think they're idiots, PERIOD. It's simple, Microsoft's gang is ║ ║ bigger than the scene, more well equipped and more experienced. ║ ║ The scene is outmatched. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you have any idea or any information of the person that narqed ║ ║ on you? Is there someone you suspect (I remind you that your ║ ║ handle will not be mentioned in this interview)? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I know for a fact that someone narqued on me. I thought I knew ║ ║ who it was. But after talking with this person, I realized that ║ ║ it could have been any one of about 8 different people in that ║ ║ area. When I hit court, I will find out for sure. When I do, ║ ║ EVERYONE will know who the narq was. Mark my words on that one... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : And you will personally inform RCN who this person is? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Of course, RCN is the most widely read E-Zine. I have no problem ║ ║ with that. I go by the code of the scene which is to never NARQ ║ ║ on anyone under any circumstances. The person who narqued on me ║ ║ is a fucking low-life piece of shit. I will find out who he is, ║ ║ and when I do, EVERYONE in the scene will know. I promise you ║ ║ that. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I have known you for a very long time and you basically set me up ║ ║ with most of the groups I am in today. What do you suggest for ║ ║ people out in scene in how we can protect ourselves? Don't ║ ║ federal agents need a warrant to break into a house? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Yes, they need a warrant. However, the Microsoft anti-piracy team ║ ║ is very respected and can easily get a warrant from the ║ ║ government. I suggest that if you belong to a group. No matter ║ ║ how big or how small, that you absolutely make sure that you do ║ ║ not have a single piece of copyrighted file on your system. Don't ║ ║ even keep a record of anything regarding the scene. If you need ║ ║ to get on IRC, use a shell account, preferably a hacked one. Buy ║ ║ all your software, from the store! If you belong to a group, make ║ ║ your system 100% legitimate. Because when they come, and they ║ ║ will, the slightest little scrap of information that tie you to a ║ ║ group, or to the scene in anyway could make the difference you ║ ║ walking away or getting convicted! ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you think groups such as Razor 1911, which have been around for ║ ║ about 25+ years would be able to survive in the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : No groups have been around for 25 years. There are no groups that ║ ║ are immune to this. Anyone in the scene is fair game to these ║ ║ guys. They are probably not interested in groups like Razor since ║ ║ it's a games group. They are more interested in groups that ║ ║ specialize in utils, like DOD and PWA. But when it comes right ║ ║ down to it. I think they just want to clean us all right off the ║ ║ face of the Internet. I would say it's a fair bet that every ║ ║ single group in the scene at this point in time has at least 1 or ║ ║ 2 members that are a part of Microsoft's anti-piracy team, as ║ ║ members of these groups, I would bet my life on that. I don't ║ ║ trust anyone anymore. As I have said, it could be anyone you are ║ ║ talking to. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : That is true, but what about users who are in Africa? I'll be ║ ║ moving to Africa in 2 weeks. There are no piracy laws there, and ║ ║ they're not going to bust anyone there. ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Well I wouldn't know about the laws in Africa, but I do know that ║ ║ in Canada and the U.S., you're screwed if they catch you. In ║ ║ Canada, the maximum penalties by law for copyright infringment is ║ ║ $25,000 in fine and/or 8 months in jail, per offense. In the ║ ║ U.S., it's up to a million in fines, and up to 5 years in jail!!! ║ ║ And that information is right out of my lawyer's mouth. It's no ║ ║ joke, this is very serious shit. All I have to say is this, I ║ ║ hope people listen. I am not some punk. I have been around for ║ ║ many years now, and what I'm seeing now is not good for the scene. ║ ║ The federal agents are definitely coming in full force. People ║ ║ are dropping like flies and they are not going to stop untio they ║ ║ get the results they want. This scares me. However, the few ║ ║ people in the scene whom I actually consider personal friends ║ ║ "outside the scene" have listened to me, and have gotten out, I ║ ║ hope. I will always be around, I have just stopped the ║ ║ downloading and spreading. It's not worth it. My friends know ║ ║ who I am, and they will always be my friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I really appreciate this interview, and on the behalf of RCN, we ║ ║ would like to thank you for letting us conduct it. We know how ║ ║ hard it is and it is very scary to get busted, especially since ║ ║ you are married and have 4 kids, and have to go to jail for ║ ║ copyright infringement. I hope everything works out for you. ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Thanks man, I will keep RCN informed on what's going on... ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Tsunami ║ ║ Subject : Tsunami *BUSTED* Affiliation : Ex-fATE Courier ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You recently left the warez scene for a few months, you seemed to ║ ║ have just disappeared, was there a reason why? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : I got busted. Actually for all the warez I was pirating, I got ║ ║ busted for something I didn't do. I was using a "shared" account ║ ║ at Sydney University. Unbeknownst to me, there were a lot of ║ ║ other people using the same account, and a few of those people ║ ║ decided to hack a U.S. missile base, and they were actually quite ║ ║ successful at their little venture. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : They hacked into the U.S. MISSILE BASE??? What the hell were they ║ ║ trying to do, launch some nukes and start World War III?.. ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : I know, they were pathetically stupid, I mean that's ASKING to be ║ ║ caught, but, they are in a LOT of trouble now (tee hee). This ║ ║ wasn't some sort of mini warez thing, so the U.S. government ║ ║ decided to ring our Australian federal agents and then they called ║ ║ AusCERT (Australian Computer Emergency Response Team) and they ║ ║ traced calls to and from the Sydney University accounts. That's ║ ║ where I was stuffed, I found all my Sydney University accounts ║ ║ cancelled and they took me in for an "interview". Argh, they ║ ║ taped in TRIPLICATE... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What's a triplicate? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : The AusCERT taped the interview onto three tapes simultaneously. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yikes, so the AusCert found you by tracing your phoneline? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Yes, looks like it, that could have been the only way. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you remember what kind of questions they asked you in the ║ ║ "interview"? What were they trying to find out? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : They were asking me if I knew how to create shell script programs, ║ ║ why I was using the account, who gave me the account, and why the ║ ║ account was used for hacking the U.S. missile base. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Hacking into a U.S. missile base is a little more eye-catching ║ ║ than carding a fake account. After you were interviewed, did you ║ ║ immediately come back into the warez scene? If not, how long was ║ ║ it before you decided to come back to the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Immediately? Shit no, I haven't been online since they took away ║ ║ computer, and I no longer have Internet access, but I hope to have ║ ║ my computer back soon.. a few weeks at most, MAYBE... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : They took away your computer? How are you chatting with me right ║ ║ now? You're not chatting with me on an AusCERT computer terminal, ║ ║ are you? If they didn't charge you with anything like hacking, ║ ║ how could they have confiscated your computer? Don't they need to ║ ║ have "just cause" and "due process" before they have the right to ║ ║ confiscate private property? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Well, they COULD charge me with unlawful access and a bunch of ║ ║ shit, so I really didn't want to argue with them when they came ║ ║ and took it. I'm currently using a friends account at New Castle ║ ║ University, 2 hours north of Sydney. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you think it's SAFE for you to come back to the scene? Since ║ ║ your interview with the AusCERT, do you feel that it might have an ║ ║ adverse effect on the groups you were affiliated with? For ║ ║ example, it is well known that you are a great courier for a great ║ ║ courier group, fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange), did the AusCERT ║ ║ dig deep into your warez habits, or did they skip over anything ║ ║ related to warez? In other words, did they care that you were ║ ║ pirating, or were they only interested in the hackers? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : A stroke of luck for me was that they were only interested in the ║ ║ hackers, and since I'm not into hacking, warez was never part of ║ ║ the big picture. I'm trying to lay low for a while (Woops, ║ ║ granting an interview to the most read E-Mag in the scene is not a ║ ║ good way to lay low *slap* do'h). ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you have any names/handles of those who were actually hacking ║ ║ the U.S. missile base? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Sorry, I don't want to get them into anymore trouble than what ║ ║ they are already in. I decline to answer. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Were you the only warez person using that account, or were there ║ ║ other more warez people using it?

The Corporation released quality utils on a regular ║ ║ basis, and as a result, the group became very well respected, and ║ ║ most considered The Corporation to be one of the top 3 utils ║ ║ groups comparable to PWA and DOD. However, The Corporation ║ ║ recently merged into PWA, was this move an attempt to merge ║ ║ together the competiton? The Corporation was good, but couldn't ║ ║ beat PWA, so The Corporation decides to join PWA? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : The merge was basically put into effect because The Corporation ║ ║ was running into problems. I became very busy, and the rest of ║ ║ the leaders/seniors did not have the time to run the group. So we ║ ║ all looked at the different possibilities on what to do, and one ║ ║ thing that we all agreed on was that PWA was the #1 utils group; ║ ║ and that a merger with them would be beneficial to both groups. I ║ ║ then contacted Snake about the merger and discovered that PWA was ║ ║ looking into something similar as well. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I agree with you, PWA is definitely the #1 utils group. What will ║ ║ happen to the leaders/seniors of The Corporation? After the ║ ║ merge, will they too become leaders/seniors of PWA, or will they ║ ║ be taken in as regular members? How many The Corporation members ║ ║ were there at the time of the merge, and how many of those The ║ ║ Corporation members will make it into PWA? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : Cyberjack and I have been made PWA Senior Members. However, The ║ ║ Punisher left for Siege. Vengeance is on vacation and has a ║ ║ member position, and Ustasa is also a member. I don't have the ║ ║ exact figures of how many people from The Corporation made it into ║ ║ PWA, but a lot of inactive people were dropped, and only the best ║ ║ moved with us. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The Punisher went to Siege, a rival utils group? Was The Punisher ║ ║ an important factor to The Corporation's release capabilities? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : The Punisher is a great courier, and some consider him the best in ║ ║ the world. His main duty in The Corporation was to organize the ║ ║ boards and couriers; and he did a great job at it when he had the ║ ║ time. I believe that Siege will also be a major powerhouse since ║ ║ they have some great guys like Hemp Hoodlum, and Speed Master. ║ ║ And with time, they will become one of the top utils groups in the ║ ║ scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Not only was The Corporation one of the top 3 utils groups, but it ║ ║ also had THE best board in the world. The Corporation had Park ║ ║ Central as its WHQ, will Park Central become PWA's new WHQ? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : Park Central will not be making the move. Crackpot was very ║ ║ patient with us. He took us in when we hadn't really proved ║ ║ ourselves, and helped us in many ways. 2 days before The ║ ║ Corporation merged with PWA, we had decided to take a break or ║ ║ something, that is until we could break the dry spell, and that's ║ ║ when Crackpot had decided to call it quits. So Park Central will ║ ║ now be without a utils group, because that's the way he chooses to ║ ║ run his board. Park Central will remain affiliated with RiSC and ║ ║ Dynamix. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : WOO... Park Central is now open for a utils group, DOD perhaps? ║ ║ Anyways, I remember reading some messages on Park Central, and I ║ ║ could recall that Roland from DOD and you did NOT get along. He ║ ║ posted messages about how lame this and that was, and how he was ║ ║ all this and that plus more. Do you believe that perhaps now that ║ ║ The Corporation has merged into PWA, that Roland from DOD and or ║ ║ other members from DOD might show more resentment towards PWA, ║ ║ their #1 rival and competitor? When the #1 (PWA) and #3 (Corp) ║ ║ utils groups merge, the number #2 (DOD) utils group, must show a ║ ║ little concern? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : I doubt Park Central will be taking in any utils groups, but I ║ ║ can't say that for sure. As for Roland, he and I shared our ║ ║ differences, but he is now no longer in the scene. As far as DOD ║ ║ is concerned, I have not seen any resentment from them. They have ║ ║ a great relationship with PWA, and ever since I have been there, I ║ ║ have seen no problems concerning the merge. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The DOD and PWA relationship is very admirable, and the smaller ║ ║ groups should learn to follow their example. There's been a trend ║ ║ lately in which smaller groups merge into a bigger groups, ONLY to ║ ║ find out that a few months later, they merge back out. For ║ ║ example, Scum merged into PWA when their leader, Liquidator, left ║ ║ the scene, however, once Liquidator came back to the scene, many ║ ║ of the old Scum members immediately left PWA and went straight ║ ║ back to Scum. Do you feel that their might be a chance in the ║ ║ future in which The Corporation merges back out of PWA, or does it ║ ║ seem to be a PERMANENT merge (so far)? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : I don't know the details about the whole Scum merge with PWA, but ║ ║ as far as I am concerned. I want the PWA and The Corporation ║ ║ merge to be a permanent deal, and I hope in every regards that it ║ ║ will be. But it is hard to say what will really happen, but I will ║ ║ try 100% to make permanent. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : BTW, Here's a personal question, I have a friend who's handle is ║ ║ Mike and Dave - and they happen to be two brothers, your handle is ║ ║ David and Goliath, are you one person or two people? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : 2 people, and it's David & Goliath :) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you two brothers or simply homosexual faggots? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : Neither, we were 2 couriers from the same area code, and we are ║ ║ also very good friends, so we decided to merge handles. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Merge handles??? Merge groups, merge handles... what will people ║ ║ think of next :) ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : I would just like to send out some greets to people I worked ║ ║ closely with while in The Corporation - ║ ║ ║ ║ Cyberjack : Wow man, you impressed the hell outta me! ║ ║ Hemp Hoodlum : Thanks for everything. ║ ║ The Punisher : people are doubting that you are #1 man! ║ ║ Uncle John : Thanks for all the help! ║ ║ Crackpot : Thanks for the patience! ║ ║ All The Rest : Vengeance, Ustasa, Retaliator, Tinox, ║ ║ Dogfriend, and Shatter Star... ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Super Hacker Interviewee : Lester ║ ║ Subject : Amnesia Affiliation : Amnesia Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current postion in the group Amnesia? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : I'm in a leader of Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How did Amnesia came about? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Amnesia came about when a few of us decided to leave the courier ║ ║ group MALiCE, because of personal and miscellaneous conflicts ║ ║ along with some other problems. We decided to start our own ║ ║ group. The name was just thrown in there. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When Amnesia started, did you guys face any serious problems? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We ran into a few problems, one was with Captain Blood. He was ║ ║ one of the few people that we started the group with originally. ║ ║ He caused a lot of problems and split off to form his own group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Captian Blood's group still messing with Amnesia, or his group ║ ║ pretty much dead? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Captain Blood's group is still alive, but he was kicked out of it. ║ ║ They are cool with us and don't fuck with us anymore. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What was the name of the Captain Blood's courier group? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : The name was, and still is Rapier. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I noticed that Amnesia and Digital held a friendly competition, ║ ║ what was that all about? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : It was suggested by a courier in Amnesia to compete against ║ ║ Digital. Eventually, I agreed to it and 6 Amnesia couriers ║ ║ competed with 15 Digital couriers on a site for a week. The ║ ║ competition ended on May 2, 1996, about an hour ago. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What was the result of the competition? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Amnesia won by about 30 megs or so. It was fairly close toward ║ ║ the end, but there was alot of crap uploaded by both sides, so it ║ ║ wasn't really that fun. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Amnesia better in Internet couriering or BBS couriering? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Amnesia is equally good in both aspects of couriering. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What does one have to do to become an Amnesia member? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : The Internet division is closed, but the BBS division requires ║ ║ that you trade long distance and that you do about 200 megs a ║ ║ week. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Amnesia "official couriers" for any release groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We have a few "unofficial" officials, but I have not agreed to ║ ║ officially courier for any release group as of yet. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is the summer of 1996 going to have a major impact on Amnesia? ║ ║ Most SiteOps are in college and take leave during the summer, and ║ ║ as result, many FTP sites go down. ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : I don't think it will have a big effect on Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How old is Amnesia, and what are Amnesia's future plans? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We have been around for 2 months now. Our future plans are to ║ ║ just to have more fun by moving some files, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What makes Amnesia different from any other group? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We just try to have fun and we try not get too involved in the ║ ║ politics of it all, at least I try not to. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your general feeling toward the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : I feel that the scene is going down the tubes. There is too much ║ ║ back stabbing and ego trips. It's gotten way out of hand. It's ║ ║ supposed to be a fun hobby, an escape from reality,people take it ║ ║ way too seriously though.

I always avoided trouble. We ║ ║ might have had some trouble with MindCrash. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Can you give us some background information on Digital? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Devast and I both used to be in MindCrash, when The Wicked One and ║ ║ Avoozl ran it. When I first joined, I didn't know much political ║ ║ things about it. All I knew is that it was a plain old couriering ║ ║ group, and I became a senior, then what happened was, I found out ║ ║ that The Wicked One didn't like Devast too much. Devast said that ║ ║ he would courier whenever he wanted to. He'd courier nothing and ║ ║ then sometimes he does 150 megs. The Wicked One said that he was ║ ║ going to kick Devast out of MindCrash but Devast decided to quit ║ ║ before he'd get kicked out. So be it, and I found out about it, ║ ║ but didn't care at first. Then The Wicked One and Avoozl got a ║ ║ job together, and were busy; I tried to take care of MindCrash, ║ ║ but none of the couriers respected me like a senior. I got pissed ║ ║ and left. Then I met Devast, and he decided to start a couriering ║ ║ group with me. At first, it was going to be Devast, Creed, ║ ║ Desolation Angel and me, but then Desolation Angel dropped out. ║ ║ Devast and I were debating on a name, and came up with Digital and ║ ║ that's how it all started... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Which other courier groups are currently competing with Digital? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : We're not really in competition; we were just challenged into a ║ ║ competition with Amnesia, and Devast decided to go for it, but I ║ ║ wouldn't call it an actual competition. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Will you call this a friendly competition, or something that just ║ ║ keeps the group on their toes? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : I'd consider it kind of both. We have a great bunch of guys in ║ ║ Digital; no egos, nothing. We're out just to have fun and to ║ ║ courier, but I wouldn't call it a rivalry between the two groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is the summer of 1996 going to have a major impact on Digital? ║ ║ Most SiteOps are in college and take leave during the summer, and ║ ║ as result, many FTP sites go down. ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Not too sure, I dont' really know. Actually it all depends on the ║ ║ couriers and SiteOps themselves. I mean, we are a serious group, ║ ║ but at same time, a lot of us have fun at it... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So Digital is not worried about the summer time blues? Because ║ ║ summer is when several groups come up and many go out because like ║ ║ I said several group members go out of town and sites go down. ║ ║ Digital is not worried about that all? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Well, we are worried, but eventually, summer will end, so things ║ ║ will go back to normal I guess, but it's all so unpredictable. ║ ║ There's nothing I can do about it even if I'm worried. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How does the competition between Amnesia and Digital work? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : You see, we upload to see who gets more within the week. I'm not ║ ║ really into it. Devast organized it and all on BBX, and it's ║ ║ going out pretty fun. I don't really care who wins or loses ║ ║ actually, the whole point is just to upload. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you have any last few comments towards the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : For one thing, I am starting to see what Cyber Angel meant when he ║ ║ said "It's pointless to move other peoples' files." Releasing ║ ║ groups are the big time winners easily. But towards Digital, ║ ║ well, we've made quite a bit of improvement with some merges, and ║ ║ we don't have no egos flying, so it's going out pretty good, and ║ ║ we're keeping the competition between Amnesia really tight, even ║ ║ though they have a couple of great couriers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Uploading other peoples file is hard work. There's only a certain ║ ║ amount of uploading each group can do. No group can call every ║ ║ BBS in the world to upload all their new releases, and Digital as ║ ║ a group is putting alot of effort moving the warez, and that is ║ ║ suffice to say that courier groups are needed in order for the ║ ║ scene to thrive. ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Thanks, we're just doing our share for the scene. As for calling ║ ║ every BBS, it's just the speed of it that you get it on. And ║ ║ believe me, it is hard work. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Digital better in Internet couriering or BBS couriering? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Digital is better off in Internet courieriering.

We dominate both the Internet and the boards. Everyone ║ ║ works their assess off, and we have quality leaders. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Razor 1911 has also been around for a long time, but lately it has ║ ║ been getting a lot of competition from such groups as Dynamix, ║ ║ Hybrid, and Napalm. Do you think that Razor 1911 is still #1 in ║ ║ the games scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Yes, of course. Not to group bash, but we release quality, ║ ║ WORKING releases. The best games are always released by Razor ║ ║ 1911. We also have the best trading team of any games group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Well I don't doubt that it worked, but a couple of days ago Razor ║ ║ 1911 released Tyrian. Was that a real release? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Yes, that was newer version of Tyrian. If people would have ║ ║ looked closely they would have noticed that, it wasn't a dupe. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yeah, I didn't think it was because it didn't get nuked anywhere. ║ ║ Well, that's cool, in that case, I'll go download it, I heard it's ║ ║ an awesome game. What do you think of Napalm? I've seen them ║ ║ beat out Razor 1911 in release numbers, what do you think this ║ ║ means? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : I think that while Razor 1911 is busy making their releases WORK, ║ ║ Napalm is releasing the game, then releasing a crack 10 days ║ ║ later. From now on, Razor 1911 will still release a game even if ║ ║ Napalm has already released it. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : That sounds like a plan. What do you think about RiSC's policy to ║ ║ support only "top 10" boards? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : I think it makes sense. Why bother with other boards? They're ║ ║ too easy! RiSC members need to go where the competition is :) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Don't you think that the small multinode boards deserve some ║ ║ support, though? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : If they are RiSC, then I am sure they get support, but more effort ║ ║ goes into the bigger boards, RiSC is more net based then BBS based ║ ║ anyhow. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you referring to IRC on the Internet or FTP sites? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : FTP sites, RiSC is #1 on every site, guaranteed. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are the requirements to become a courier for RiSC? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : There are no set requirements, anyone that can do the job can get ║ ║ in. RiSC is the hardest courier group to get into though. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many hours per week do you spend couriering for RiSC? What is ║ ║ the job description of being a RiSC member? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : I'll tell you this, I spend a LOT of time couriering. It's a lot ║ ║ of work. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : About Scum, what is your feeling towards the general consensus ║ ║ that Scum came back only to reiterate its past glories and that it ║ ║ is failing pathetically compared to its old potential as one of ║ ║ the scene's leading utils groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : If that's what people think, well, Scum will get better, it's ║ ║ really just based on a bunch of friends hanging out. If we aren't ║ ║ the #1 in utils, no big deal. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : That's an awesome attitude, it is only through calmness and trust ║ ║ in time that a group gets better. What do you have to say to the ║ ║ wealth that left Scum for PWA (Pirates with Attitudes)? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Well, PWA is #1 right now, so it makes sense that good suppliers ║ ║ go with the best utils group. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Super Hacker Interviewee : Rapid Motion ║ ║ Subject : Hostile Affiliation : Hostile Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current position in Hostile? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : I am the founder and leader of Hostile. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How old is Hostile, and what type of group is it? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Hostile was formed in late January early February of 96. We ║ ║ currently release utils and PPEs (PCBoard Programming Executable). ║ ║ We used to release both games and utils, but we no longer release ║ ║ both. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why don't you release both games and utils anymore? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : We used to release both games and utils but we have narrowed it ║ ║ down to just utils and PPEs because we have a sister group called ║ ║ Lensmen which is our games division. We give Lensmen our games ║ ║ and in turn, they give us their utils. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When Hositle was first created, did it come upon any problems such ║ ║ as splits or break ups? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Not at first, but then we started coming upon an onslaught of ║ ║ problems when I made Perfect Form a leader in Hostile. He took ║ ║ advantage of the position I gave him and he tried to split up my ║ ║ group. I then kicked him and that drove Hostile into a low point ║ ║ in the scene. After kicking him from the group, there were some ║ ║ members that were uncertain what direction the group was taking. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When you kicked Perfect Form out of Hostile, did it backfire? Did ║ ║ your group suffer significantly? Most group members like to ║ ║ follow their leader, and since you and Perfect Form were leader, ║ ║ did they have a hard time picking between who to follow? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : No, Perfect Form was a leader ranked below me. I had a few ║ ║ members that followed me. Most of the great members stuck with ║ ║ Hostile and did not follow Perfect Form because he was doing some ║ ║ very lame things. In the end, Perfect Form's expulsion ║ ║ strengthened Hostile and we got BETTER suppliers. All my old ║ ║ active suppliers came back to the group, and the group is still ║ ║ under construction somewhat but it is now doing better and is ║ ║ stronger than it has been. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are your future plans for Hostile? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : I will like to strengthen the group more and get Hostile more ║ ║ noticed in the utils scene. I am strenghtening Hostile by making ║ ║ it a more stable group, and to do that, we're working on brining ║ ║ more quality releases to the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How does one become a member of Hostile? Are there any positions ║ ║ available in Hostile? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Hostile has an application WHQ (Tower of Sorcery) that is still ║ ║ under construction. We also have special application PPEs on ║ ║ Shroom's board, and we also offer our applications on IRC. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Hostile in the scene to become #1 by ruining the competition or ║ ║ is it just here for fun? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : We have places in the group for those who are productive ║ ║ suppliers. We also have room for FAST traders and for those who ║ ║ wish to code PPEs, etc. Anyone who has something to offer is ║ ║ welcome to the group. We are here for personal satisfaction, and ║ ║ that's what it's all about. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So bascially, Hostile is not here for the competition and is not ║ ║ actively looking for competition? Is my assumption correct? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : In a sense, yes, we would like to compete but we're not planning ║ ║ to lose any sleep if we cannot compete with DOD or PWA. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When Hostile does start to compete, which other utils groups will ║ ║ be it's major competiton? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Hostile is currently competing with COPS, Pinnacle, Scum, and ║ ║ X-Force. I don't think we are ready to compete with DOD or PWA ║ ║ yet. Hostile is here to stay, and we hope to gain the same ║ ║ respect we give to other groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Perfect Form ║ ║ Subject : Perfect Form Affiliation : Ex-Hostile Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : A few months ago, you were kicked out of Demolition despite the ║ ║ fact that you were a senior in that group. You were accused of ║ ║ stealing suppliers for a rival group. However, that accusation ║ ║ was proved to be false since you were not trying to steal ║ ║ suppliers, but you were trying to steal artists. But that is ║ ║ ancient history. In the recent weeks, you were again kicked out ║ ║ of a group you were supposedly a "leader/senior" of. You were ║ ║ kicked out of Hostile because you were again attempting to steal ║ ║ members, breaking up the group, and causing havoc. What do you ║ ║ have to say about your recent "kicked in the ass by your own ║ ║ group?" ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Well, I was in Hostile. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I know that. ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I did everyting for that group and I put in 100% effort. It was a ║ ║ good group when I was in it, when I was running the show. ║ ║ However, Rapid Motion knows DICK SHIT. I have not tried to break ║ ║ up the group in any way whatsoever. Rapid Motion is making up ║ ║ bullshit again. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You admit that you gave 100% for the group, what exactly did you ║ ║ do for the group? You also said that you RAN the group? Didn't ║ ║ Rapid Motion outrank you? Were there conflicts between you two, a ║ ║ power struggle perhaps? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Yes, I gave Hostile 100%. There was a power struggle, *YOU* can ║ ║ ask anyone what Hostile was when I was running it. I had good ║ ║ members in it, that were doing everything to make it even better. ║ ║ I admit that I brought in some lamers too, and suppliers that ║ ║ duped, but I had it all fixed. Ever since I left, it's become ║ ║ just another lame ass group run by a guy who just wants to be the ║ ║ leader of a group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So you played such a major role in Hostile, that when you left, it ║ ║ could not survive without you? ONE person killed the group? ║ ║ *YOU* basically killed the WHOLE group, and you didn't even take ║ ║ anyone with you? I could believe if 75% of the group left ║ ║ Hostile, and then it culdn't function, but how could 1 person ║ ║ leaving devastate the group so much? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I put in 100% effort to making sure that Hostile would survive ║ ║ when I was in it. Why did it die? Well, because I had brought ║ ║ everyone in it and I knew how to run a group and it released ║ ║ almost everyday and every member worked their asses off. When I ║ ║ left, nearly all the suppliers and couriers left for other groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The fact that you brought in a lot of members that didn't do ║ ║ anything for the group is what caused so much trouble for Hostile. ║ ║ You brought in too many lamers who didn't know what they were ║ ║ doing or did nothing, and the suppliers that you did help bring ║ ║ into the group only supplied dupes, and that in your 100% effort ║ ║ to make it a good group, you essentially killed it. Then I must ║ ║ ask, what group you did join after you left Hostile, and where did ║ ║ "nearly all the suppliers and couriers" leave for (which other ║ ║ group)? Why did they join other groups? Why did not follow you ║ ║ around since you were their true leader? Or perhaps, you ║ ║ overrated your own leadership and importance, and the rest of ║ ║ Hostile saw that, and that can be why they did not follow you ║ ║ either. ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Yes, I have to admit I brought in a couple of lamers, and ║ ║ suppliers that supplied dupes, but most of the supplies did supply ║ ║ unreleased utils. I have no idea where "nearly all the suppliers ║ ║ and couriers" went to after Hostile split up. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Okay, now that we have it clear that *YOU* ran Hostile, then what ║ ║ did the Rapid Motion (the other leader) do? Did he just sit on ║ ║ his ass watching you give 100% for HIS group? What's the deal ║ ║ with him? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Rapid Motion just sat there watching me do everything, proclaiming ║ ║ himself leader when he did nothing. All he would do is, logon and ║ ║ see how everything was going, and then he'd log right back off. ║ ║ ALL I have to say is, ask anyone what Hostile was like when I was ║ ║ running it. Ever since i left, it's become a crappy utils group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you do most of the packaging of the releases? Who packaged ║ ║ more releases? You or Rapid Motion? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I did. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many releases did you package, and how many releases did he ║ ║ package? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Rapid Motion didn't even package a single thing since the ║ ║ suppliers didn't even know who he was. I packaged most of the ║ ║ stuff, along with my friend Weed. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Who packaged more releases? You or Weed? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I packaged a few more than he did. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So you packaged more, did either of you do any dupe checking? ║ ║ Cause Hostile sure did release a lot of dupes, I don't need to ║ ║ name any, because it would just be more embarrassing, but anyways, ║ ║ those dupes were obviously not Rapid Motion's fault, since he ║ ║ didn't package anything. Then the packager of those dupes must ║ ║ have either been you or Weed. Who did package all the dupes? You ║ ║ or weed, or did both of you package all the dupes? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Neither of us packaged any dupes. The suppliers, packaged the ║ ║ dupes when I specifically told them not to. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Wow, great way to shift the blame. So you never actually packaged ║ ║ any dupes? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : No, I have not packaged any dupes. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The way I take it is, if you are the lamer and loser everyone ║ ║ calls you, then you would only have enemies. Do you have any ║ ║ friends (on IRC)? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Yes, I have a couple of friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Name a few? We'd all like to know. ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Dragon Hunter, Misha, Lost Soul, Grudge, Corvette, Captain Blood, ║ ║ LoLo, Shatter Star, CP, and Prozac are my friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I would like to point out that in Defacto E-Zine, it was stated that ║ ║ Digital beat Amnesia in the FTP uploading contest.

But first I would like to go into detail ║ ║ about both groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP was founded in early March by myself. IMP got some talented ║ ║ people from the start and grew fast. One week after it was founded we ║ ║ started releasing and decided that we would specialize in utils. IMP ║ ║ was offered many merges, some which involved merges INTO big groups, and ║ ║ others which involved merges WITH small groups. IMP turned down some ║ ║ and took up a merge offer by ERA. After two days, it failed. IMP ║ ║ failed two other merges. After the two failers, IMP became more ║ ║ organized and released more often. Approximately 2 months after the ERA ║ ║ failure, ATA offered IMP a merge deal. ║ ║ ║ ║ TSA and Jecksom founded ATA was founded about one month after IMP ║ ║ first grouped. They got great people from the start and only accepted ║ ║ the best. ATA was originally formed for fun, but they quickly turned ║ ║ into a serious group. They had everything except releasing power. ATA ║ ║ could release, but not often. IMP had the releasing power so ATA ║ ║ offered IMP a merge. ║ ║ ║ ║ Both groups worked on the merge for 3 days. Everything was worked ║ ║ out except for the new name for a combined group. IMP wanted to either ║ ║ keep IMP as our name or go under a neutral name. ATA wanted to keep ║ ║ their name, but after one day they convinced me to take the name ATA. ║ ║ Its a cool name anyway! On the fourth day, the merge was final and a ║ ║ success. After about one week after the merge, ATA started to kick ass, ║ ║ they released 15+ quality releases a month, not like the lame ass COPS ║ ║ releases. ║ ║ ║ ║ Here are a few pointers for leaders if they ever in a merge ║ ║ position. REMEMBER that MOST merges are usually a failure. ║ ║ ║ ║ ≡1≡ Make sure you know exactly what you are doing. Make sure you have ║ ║ all your information collected by the first day. ║ ║ ║ ║ ≡2≡ Don't get big egoed when a bigger group asks you to merge into them. ║ ║ It won't get you anywhere, and chances are that they will change ║ ║ their mind if you do agree to merge. ║ ║ ║ ║ ≡3≡ Merges must happen fast or they will fail. Guarenteed... ║ ║ ║ ║ ≡4≡ Keep merges a secret until they are final. If word gets out, it ║ ║ will just cause major problems. Trust me, it has happened to me ║ ║ before. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Zorlac ║ ║ ║ ║ *PS* If you follow all of them, it will DEFINETLY help out your merge ║ ║ process. But I cannot guarantee that it will work out. It is ║ ║ impossible to predict if a merge will work out. Odds are that your ║ ║ first merge will be a failure. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ║ ║ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄█████████████████▄ ░ ▄█▓ ▄ ▄▄▄███▀▀▀▀▀▀████▄ ░ ║ ║ ▀▀▀▀▀▀███▓ ▄ ▀███▓ ▒ ███▓ ███▓ ░ ███▓ ▒ ║ ║ ███▓ ░ ███▓ ▀ ███▓ ███▓ ▀ ███▓ ▓ ║ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄███▓▄▄▄▄▄▄███▓ ▄▄█████████▄▄▀▀█▓▄█████████▓ ▀ ║ ║ ███▀▀▀▀▀███▓▀▀▀▀▀▀███▓▀▀▀▀▀███▓▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▓ ▄ ███▓ ▄ ║ ║ ▀▄ ███▓ ▄ ███▓ ▄ ███▓ ▄ ███▓ ▓ ███▓ ▓ ║ ║ ███▓ ▓ ███▓ ▓ ███▓ ▓ ███▓ ▒ ███▓ ▒ ║ ║ ███▓ ▒ ███▓ ▒ ███▓ ▒ ███▓ ░ ███▓ ░ ║ ║ ███▓ ░ ███▓ ░ ███▓ ░ ███▓ ▄ ███▓ ▄ ║ ║ ▄████▄▄▀ ▄████▄▄▄▀ ██▓ ▄▄██████▀ ▄██████▀▀ ║ ║ ▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀█ ▀ ▀ [VEk'96] ║ ║ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ ║ ║ ║ ║ ...

I ║ ║ was just about to leave to find something else to do, when all of a ║ ║ sudden, Ventrue exclaimed "Anyone alive?" I replied "Yeah, I'm here." ║ ║ We ended up talking about some BBS demo I was supposed to code for him, ║ ║ but never got around to. Anyways, a few more minutes passed and TQR ║ ║ (The Quiet Riot), the President of NFS (Need for Speed) got kicked out ║ ║ of #ATA. I went around asking why, but no one answered. Apparently, ║ ║ Suspicious Image, a self-centered egoistical fucking loud mouth kicked ║ ║ TQR out. For a few minutes, I listened to TQR's story. He told me that ║ ║ Suspicious Image was one of those people that belongs to groups like ║ ║ DOD, Hybrid, RiSC, etc., and that he was hot shit. ║ ║ ║ ║ A few moments later, Suspicious Imaged messaged me saying "You will ║ ║ obey TSA and Zorlac for ban-kicking a senior." Whatever the fuck that ║ ║ meant, I didn't really care by then. He sounded like he was in charge ║ ║ and was ordering me around. This directly backed up TQR's perspective ║ ║ of Suspicious Image and his damned ego. This goes double for Trite. He ║ ║ thinks he's a damned hot shot too. Trite was the one to kick me out for ║ ║ kicking Suspicious Image out. Actually, I'm not sure if it's because of ║ ║ Suspicious Image. I think it's more of a personal vendetta that we ║ ║ have. Anyways, ATA has a cool president, but some seniors (such as ║ ║ Trite) should be weeded out for being so lame. Kicking out members ║ ║ because they feel like it is not right. ║ ║ ║ ║ Why did I write this? I want the world to know how much of an ║ ║ ass-monger Suspicious Image and Trite are. I mean, if they were a ║ ║ fucking bit nicer, they wouldn't see me all pissed. ║ ║ ║ ║ Lastly, Hybernate ticks me off sometimes. This guy is all around ║ ║ cool, but he thinks I stole his shell. It was my actually my shell and ║ ║ I didn't ask anyone to steal it back. I'm not shifting blame away from ║ ║ me, but have a bit more faith. He is the only one here with a normal ║ ║ mental capacity, except when he's pissed. Then he becomes blind to the ║ ║ truth. ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Crystaline Death ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Crystaline Death, ║ ║ ║ ║ I don't doubt that some of the actions of Suspicious Image and Trite ║ ║ could be referred to as completely lame. I don't know Suspicious Image ║ ║ personally so it would be unfair of me to make a judgement call about ║ ║ him without getting to know him for myself. I will speak of Trite, ║ ║ though. He actually did some warez reviews for RCN a few issues back, ║ ║ and he seemed like a very reliable person that seemed very intelligent ║ ║ to me. He made his arguments well for the groups that he favored, and I ║ ║ appreciate that in him. He was also very nice to me on IRC. However, ║ ║ people change, and again, I haven't spoken to him recently, so it would ║ ║ not be in my best regard to make a judgement call upon him right now. I ║ ║ would, however, have to stick to his side in a toss-up due to prior ║ ║ experience with him. ║ ║ ║ ║ As for Hybernate, we all have problems getting along with people ║ ║ sometimes. Why not put that aside and see if you can befriend him once ║ ║ more. We can't all be perfect all the time. I have a hard time being ║ ║ perfect some of the time. ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I'm going to talk about COPS, they are a pathetic and lame group. ║ ║ They do have some good members that came over from the AOf merge. ║ ║ However, their releases are small, lame, and usually freeware. It's an ║ ║ ongoing joke among FTP traders that one of COPS' releases might one day ║ ║ actually break a meg. Most of their releases are less than 600k. Their ║ ║ utils are usually useless crap. Occasionally they do some freeware ║ ║ NetScape stuff. I remember how they released "Blake Stone : Aliens of ║ ║ Gold", didn't they know that it used the same engine as "Wolfenstein ║ ║ 3D"? ║ ║ ║ ║ This group has potential but their leader, Endeavour is a lame ║ ║ 13-year-old.

COPS needs to ║ ║ get its shit in order, purge its lameass members who clog the channel ║ ║ doing nothing, and get their suppliers in order. They have the talent ║ ║ to be a good release group. The reason COPS sucks is purely because of ║ ║ their lack of good leaders. Get your group in order and use your ║ ║ suppliers. Endeavour's a lazy bastard who sits in real groups' channels ║ ║ and begs to get opped. My personal opinion is that COPS supliers should ║ ║ get into a real group such as ATA, Fierce, or Hostile.

Some veteran traders just smile and express that the scene ║ ║ would be dead if it weren't for the ego that drives traders and groups ║ ║ to do their best. I think it's time to put this to debate and place it ║ ║ in its proper terms. There are some traders who brag and act like they ║ ║ are 'the shit' 101% of the time.

Other traders who are experienced know they are among ║ ║ the best. ║ ║ ║ ║ Traders who say they are the best and can back it up on a ║ ║ consistently shouldn't be called egotistic if they keep bragging to an ║ ║ acceptable level.

Those who seem to make a big ║ ║ deal about having some pride need to chill. Everyone who sacrifices ║ ║ 5-14 hours a day in the scene deserves some recognition when they do a ║ ║ good job. If they act like assholes by taking their boasts to extremes ║ ║ just laugh and know that they will fuck themselves over eventually. ║ ║ They are their own worst enemy. They will get theirs in the end.

Don't make a big deal out of ║ ║ their huge ego. Other people will notice and will hurt the trader ║ ║ eventually. If they are just idly bragging in the channel how they ║ ║ cranked a board and they aren't talking like they are the only good ║ ║ trader in the channel, jut say 'good job.' Don't get all uptight when ║ ║ someone discusses his accomplishments.

Their plan is to ║ ║ completely eradicate software piracy off of the Internet by the ║ ║ year 1997; and they are well equiped to do just that. I know for ║ ║ a fact that many members of the different groups over the past ║ ║ year are in fact Microsoft agents working on this investigation. ║ ║ They will definitely take out anyone they want. I mean, who are ║ ║ we kidding here... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Sice September of last year, Microsoft, IBM, Lotus, Core, Autodes, ║ ║ and a few other companies have worked together in an "Internet ║ ║ Anti-Piracy Campaign". They have been working undercover in the ║ ║ warez scene collecting information about the various groups and ║ ║ their respective members. They would seek out information such as ║ ║ who supplies and who couriers, etc. In your opinion, is the warez ║ ║ scene not to be as trusted as before, and that even you or I could ║ ║ be an undercover federal agent? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Absolutely. How can you even think of trusting someone you will ║ ║ never in your life met. I mean, a handle could be anyone; it ║ ║ could even be Bill Gates you're trading the newest build of ║ ║ Windows NT with. How can you know for sure who you're talking ║ ║ to. It is just not worth it. I could be looking at up too ║ ║ $25,000 in fines and/or 8 months in jail for every offense! ║ ║ That's every ware! That's insane! And all these lamers on IRC ║ ║ who say "Oh, the feds don't care about courier groups, it's all ║ ║ bullshit! Distributing copyrighted software is just as bad if not ║ ║ worse than the person who supplied it in the first place. The ║ ║ supplier gives it to one person. The couriers give it to ║ ║ thousands of people! How would you know if I am a federal agent or ║ ║ not, and how would I know if you're not. It's simple, the ║ ║ Internet is an imaginary world, where people can be whatever they ║ ║ want. The federal agents who are working with Microsoft are ║ ║ taking advantage of that. There's no such thing as entrapment on ║ ║ the Internet. They don't have to tell you jack. In fact, about ║ ║ 99% of all narqs are not federal agents. They are usually just ║ ║ students or Microsoft employees. The federal agents are just the ║ ║ guys who take the information these people hand them and then go ║ ║ kick in your door. They just pick up the scraps when Microsoft ║ ║ has enough information on you. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How long have you being in the scene? And in your opinion, do you ║ ║ see the scene dying out as many veterans are starting to leave the ║ ║ scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I've been a major part of the scene ever since the C64 days. And ║ ║ as far as I am concerned, the scene is all but dead now. I mean, ║ ║ there are a lot of great people left, but how can you possibly ║ ║ hide from these huge companies? If you have half a brain, you'd ║ ║ get out of the scene before these companies get you. It's just ║ ║ not worth it. I would that couriers are in EVEN bigger shit than ║ ║ suppliers. From my observations, they apparently don't really ║ ║ care about the games scene. It's the utils they are after in a ║ ║ big way by companies such as Microsoft, IBM, etc. All the big time ║ ║ elite dudes I used to know have either retired, or have been ║ ║ busted by now. With all these new people coming in, I would say ║ ║ that 2 out of every 10 work in some way with Microsoft, the SPA, ║ ║ or some other government agency. It's just not fair, we can't ║ ║ win... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What happened on the day you of your bust? Did they let you go? ║ ║ Did they confiscate anything? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I was out of town on business. They came to my house, kicked in ║ ║ the door and confiscated everything that had anything to do with ║ ║ computers, all my systems, monitors, cables, books, notepads, ║ ║ scribble pads, scraps of paper, etc. If you walked in right after ║ ║ they left. You would have no clue that I had anything to do with ║ ║ computers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did they charge you with a crime? Did they take you to jail? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I was not arrested. And I still have not been charged with ║ ║ anything. They are going through my systems with a fine toothed ║ ║ comb as we speak... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you have a lot of pirated software on your system? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Well I am not really in a position to say. Who knows who will be ║ ║ reading this. I will say that I considered myself untouchable for ║ ║ the longest time. I mean, I always heard of people getting busted ║ ║ and I was always said, "Oh shit, that guy's screwed." But it was ║ ║ never supposed to happen to me. It's like something you watch on ║ ║ television. But I'll tell you this. I was one of the most ║ ║ careful people out there and they got me. That means they can get ║ ║ anyone, anytime, anywhere. No questions asked. Whenever I see ║ ║ people saying, "Oh they'll never get me, or I'm not worried. I ║ ║ think they're idiots, PERIOD. It's simple, Microsoft's gang is ║ ║ bigger than the scene, more well equipped and more experienced. ║ ║ The scene is outmatched. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you have any idea or any information of the person that narqed ║ ║ on you? Is there someone you suspect (I remind you that your ║ ║ handle will not be mentioned in this interview)? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : I know for a fact that someone narqued on me. I thought I knew ║ ║ who it was. But after talking with this person, I realized that ║ ║ it could have been any one of about 8 different people in that ║ ║ area. When I hit court, I will find out for sure. When I do, ║ ║ EVERYONE will know who the narq was. Mark my words on that one... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : And you will personally inform RCN who this person is? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Of course, RCN is the most widely read E-Zine. I have no problem ║ ║ with that. I go by the code of the scene which is to never NARQ ║ ║ on anyone under any circumstances. The person who narqued on me ║ ║ is a fucking low-life piece of shit. I will find out who he is, ║ ║ and when I do, EVERYONE in the scene will know. I promise you ║ ║ that. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I have known you for a very long time and you basically set me up ║ ║ with most of the groups I am in today. What do you suggest for ║ ║ people out in scene in how we can protect ourselves? Don't ║ ║ federal agents need a warrant to break into a house? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Yes, they need a warrant. However, the Microsoft anti-piracy team ║ ║ is very respected and can easily get a warrant from the ║ ║ government. I suggest that if you belong to a group. No matter ║ ║ how big or how small, that you absolutely make sure that you do ║ ║ not have a single piece of copyrighted file on your system. Don't ║ ║ even keep a record of anything regarding the scene. If you need ║ ║ to get on IRC, use a shell account, preferably a hacked one. Buy ║ ║ all your software, from the store! If you belong to a group, make ║ ║ your system 100% legitimate. Because when they come, and they ║ ║ will, the slightest little scrap of information that tie you to a ║ ║ group, or to the scene in anyway could make the difference you ║ ║ walking away or getting convicted! ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you think groups such as Razor 1911, which have been around for ║ ║ about 25+ years would be able to survive in the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : No groups have been around for 25 years. There are no groups that ║ ║ are immune to this. Anyone in the scene is fair game to these ║ ║ guys. They are probably not interested in groups like Razor since ║ ║ it's a games group. They are more interested in groups that ║ ║ specialize in utils, like DOD and PWA. But when it comes right ║ ║ down to it. I think they just want to clean us all right off the ║ ║ face of the Internet. I would say it's a fair bet that every ║ ║ single group in the scene at this point in time has at least 1 or ║ ║ 2 members that are a part of Microsoft's anti-piracy team, as ║ ║ members of these groups, I would bet my life on that. I don't ║ ║ trust anyone anymore. As I have said, it could be anyone you are ║ ║ talking to. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : That is true, but what about users who are in Africa? I'll be ║ ║ moving to Africa in 2 weeks. There are no piracy laws there, and ║ ║ they're not going to bust anyone there. ║ ║ ║ ║ UND : Well I wouldn't know about the laws in Africa, but I do know that ║ ║ in Canada and the U.S., you're screwed if they catch you. In ║ ║ Canada, the maximum penalties by law for copyright infringment is ║ ║ $25,000 in fine and/or 8 months in jail, per offense. In the ║ ║ U.S., it's up to a million in fines, and up to 5 years in jail!!! ║ ║ And that information is right out of my lawyer's mouth. It's no ║ ║ joke, this is very serious shit. All I have to say is this, I ║ ║ hope people listen. I am not some punk. I have been around for ║ ║ many years now, and what I'm seeing now is not good for the scene. ║ ║ The federal agents are definitely coming in full force. People ║ ║ are dropping like flies and they are not going to stop untio they ║ ║ get the results they want. This scares me. However, the few ║ ║ people in the scene whom I actually consider personal friends ║ ║ "outside the scene" have listened to me, and have gotten out, I ║ ║ hope. I will always be around, I have just stopped the ║ ║ downloading and spreading. It's not worth it. My friends know ║ ║ who I am, and they will always be my friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I really appreciate this interview, and on the behalf of RCN, we ║ ║ would like to thank you for letting us conduct it. We know how ║ ║ hard it is and it is very scary to get busted, especially since ║ ║ you are married and have 4 kids, and have to go to jail for ║ ║ copyright infringement.

Actually for all the warez I was pirating, I got ║ ║ busted for something I didn't do. I was using a "shared" account ║ ║ at Sydney University. Unbeknownst to me, there were a lot of ║ ║ other people using the same account, and a few of those people ║ ║ decided to hack a U.S. missile base, and they were actually quite ║ ║ successful at their little venture. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : They hacked into the U.S. MISSILE BASE??? What the hell were they ║ ║ trying to do, launch some nukes and start World War III?.. ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : I know, they were pathetically stupid, I mean that's ASKING to be ║ ║ caught, but, they are in a LOT of trouble now (tee hee). This ║ ║ wasn't some sort of mini warez thing, so the U.S. government ║ ║ decided to ring our Australian federal agents and then they called ║ ║ AusCERT (Australian Computer Emergency Response Team) and they ║ ║ traced calls to and from the Sydney University accounts. That's ║ ║ where I was stuffed, I found all my Sydney University accounts ║ ║ cancelled and they took me in for an "interview". Argh, they ║ ║ taped in TRIPLICATE... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What's a triplicate? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : The AusCERT taped the interview onto three tapes simultaneously. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yikes, so the AusCert found you by tracing your phoneline? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Yes, looks like it, that could have been the only way. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you remember what kind of questions they asked you in the ║ ║ "interview"? What were they trying to find out? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : They were asking me if I knew how to create shell script programs, ║ ║ why I was using the account, who gave me the account, and why the ║ ║ account was used for hacking the U.S. missile base. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Hacking into a U.S. missile base is a little more eye-catching ║ ║ than carding a fake account. After you were interviewed, did you ║ ║ immediately come back into the warez scene? If not, how long was ║ ║ it before you decided to come back to the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Immediately? Shit no, I haven't been online since they took away ║ ║ computer, and I no longer have Internet access, but I hope to have ║ ║ my computer back soon.. a few weeks at most, MAYBE... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : They took away your computer? How are you chatting with me right ║ ║ now? You're not chatting with me on an AusCERT computer terminal, ║ ║ are you? If they didn't charge you with anything like hacking, ║ ║ how could they have confiscated your computer? Don't they need to ║ ║ have "just cause" and "due process" before they have the right to ║ ║ confiscate private property? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Well, they COULD charge me with unlawful access and a bunch of ║ ║ shit, so I really didn't want to argue with them when they came ║ ║ and took it. I'm currently using a friends account at New Castle ║ ║ University, 2 hours north of Sydney. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you think it's SAFE for you to come back to the scene? Since ║ ║ your interview with the AusCERT, do you feel that it might have an ║ ║ adverse effect on the groups you were affiliated with? For ║ ║ example, it is well known that you are a great courier for a great ║ ║ courier group, fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange), did the AusCERT ║ ║ dig deep into your warez habits, or did they skip over anything ║ ║ related to warez? In other words, did they care that you were ║ ║ pirating, or were they only interested in the hackers? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : A stroke of luck for me was that they were only interested in the ║ ║ hackers, and since I'm not into hacking, warez was never part of ║ ║ the big picture. I'm trying to lay low for a while (Woops, ║ ║ granting an interview to the most read E-Mag in the scene is not a ║ ║ good way to lay low *slap* do'h). ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you have any names/handles of those who were actually hacking ║ ║ the U.S. missile base? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Sorry, I don't want to get them into anymore trouble than what ║ ║ they are already in. I decline to answer. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Were you the only warez person using that account, or were there ║ ║ other more warez people using it? HOW did you get accesss to that ║ ║ account in the first place? Who gave you the account? You ║ ║ obviously didn't pay for it. ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : How? It was given to me by another "Netter" (Aren't they all?). ║ ║ I was the main warez person using the account since it was a dream ║ ║ account, unlimited quota.. woo wee... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The "Netter" who gave you the account, did he get interviewed by ║ ║ the Auscert as well? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : Yes, he was one of the hackers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Ouch, guess he got a little more than just an interview. ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : He was stupid for doing it though, ruined me for a couple of ║ ║ months. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What kind of computer did you have? What did they confiscate? ║ ║ ║ ║ TSU : They confiscated my Pentium 120 MHz, 2 MEG Matrox Millenium, 24 ║ ║ MEG RAM, 2 GIG HD, 15" monitor, SB16, 6x CD-ROM, and my Rhino 6 ║ ║ motherboard :( ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : OUCHH... ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : David & Goliath ║ ║ Subject : PWA+CORP=PWA Affiliation : PWA Senior Member ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The Corporation was capable of showing the scene that it was a ║ ║ very powerful release group even though the group was essentially ║ ║ very young. The Corporation released quality utils on a regular ║ ║ basis, and as a result, the group became very well respected, and ║ ║ most considered The Corporation to be one of the top 3 utils ║ ║ groups comparable to PWA and DOD. However, The Corporation ║ ║ recently merged into PWA, was this move an attempt to merge ║ ║ together the competiton? The Corporation was good, but couldn't ║ ║ beat PWA, so The Corporation decides to join PWA? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : The merge was basically put into effect because The Corporation ║ ║ was running into problems. I became very busy, and the rest of ║ ║ the leaders/seniors did not have the time to run the group. So we ║ ║ all looked at the different possibilities on what to do, and one ║ ║ thing that we all agreed on was that PWA was the #1 utils group; ║ ║ and that a merger with them would be beneficial to both groups. I ║ ║ then contacted Snake about the merger and discovered that PWA was ║ ║ looking into something similar as well. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I agree with you, PWA is definitely the #1 utils group. What will ║ ║ happen to the leaders/seniors of The Corporation? After the ║ ║ merge, will they too become leaders/seniors of PWA, or will they ║ ║ be taken in as regular members? How many The Corporation members ║ ║ were there at the time of the merge, and how many of those The ║ ║ Corporation members will make it into PWA? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : Cyberjack and I have been made PWA Senior Members. However, The ║ ║ Punisher left for Siege. Vengeance is on vacation and has a ║ ║ member position, and Ustasa is also a member. I don't have the ║ ║ exact figures of how many people from The Corporation made it into ║ ║ PWA, but a lot of inactive people were dropped, and only the best ║ ║ moved with us. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The Punisher went to Siege, a rival utils group? Was The Punisher ║ ║ an important factor to The Corporation's release capabilities? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : The Punisher is a great courier, and some consider him the best in ║ ║ the world. His main duty in The Corporation was to organize the ║ ║ boards and couriers; and he did a great job at it when he had the ║ ║ time. I believe that Siege will also be a major powerhouse since ║ ║ they have some great guys like Hemp Hoodlum, and Speed Master. ║ ║ And with time, they will become one of the top utils groups in the ║ ║ scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Not only was The Corporation one of the top 3 utils groups, but it ║ ║ also had THE best board in the world. The Corporation had Park ║ ║ Central as its WHQ, will Park Central become PWA's new WHQ? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : Park Central will not be making the move. Crackpot was very ║ ║ patient with us. He took us in when we hadn't really proved ║ ║ ourselves, and helped us in many ways. 2 days before The ║ ║ Corporation merged with PWA, we had decided to take a break or ║ ║ something, that is until we could break the dry spell, and that's ║ ║ when Crackpot had decided to call it quits. So Park Central will ║ ║ now be without a utils group, because that's the way he chooses to ║ ║ run his board. Park Central will remain affiliated with RiSC and ║ ║ Dynamix. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : WOO... Park Central is now open for a utils group, DOD perhaps? ║ ║ Anyways, I remember reading some messages on Park Central, and I ║ ║ could recall that Roland from DOD and you did NOT get along. He ║ ║ posted messages about how lame this and that was, and how he was ║ ║ all this and that plus more. Do you believe that perhaps now that ║ ║ The Corporation has merged into PWA, that Roland from DOD and or ║ ║ other members from DOD might show more resentment towards PWA, ║ ║ their #1 rival and competitor? When the #1 (PWA) and #3 (Corp) ║ ║ utils groups merge, the number #2 (DOD) utils group, must show a ║ ║ little concern? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : I doubt Park Central will be taking in any utils groups, but I ║ ║ can't say that for sure. As for Roland, he and I shared our ║ ║ differences, but he is now no longer in the scene. As far as DOD ║ ║ is concerned, I have not seen any resentment from them. They have ║ ║ a great relationship with PWA, and ever since I have been there, I ║ ║ have seen no problems concerning the merge. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The DOD and PWA relationship is very admirable, and the smaller ║ ║ groups should learn to follow their example. There's been a trend ║ ║ lately in which smaller groups merge into a bigger groups, ONLY to ║ ║ find out that a few months later, they merge back out. For ║ ║ example, Scum merged into PWA when their leader, Liquidator, left ║ ║ the scene, however, once Liquidator came back to the scene, many ║ ║ of the old Scum members immediately left PWA and went straight ║ ║ back to Scum. Do you feel that their might be a chance in the ║ ║ future in which The Corporation merges back out of PWA, or does it ║ ║ seem to be a PERMANENT merge (so far)? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : I don't know the details about the whole Scum merge with PWA, but ║ ║ as far as I am concerned. I want the PWA and The Corporation ║ ║ merge to be a permanent deal, and I hope in every regards that it ║ ║ will be. But it is hard to say what will really happen, but I will ║ ║ try 100% to make permanent. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : BTW, Here's a personal question, I have a friend who's handle is ║ ║ Mike and Dave - and they happen to be two brothers, your handle is ║ ║ David and Goliath, are you one person or two people? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : 2 people, and it's David & Goliath :) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you two brothers or simply homosexual faggots? ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : Neither, we were 2 couriers from the same area code, and we are ║ ║ also very good friends, so we decided to merge handles. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Merge handles??? Merge groups, merge handles... what will people ║ ║ think of next :) ║ ║ ║ ║ D&G : I would just like to send out some greets to people I worked ║ ║ closely with while in The Corporation - ║ ║ ║ ║ Cyberjack : Wow man, you impressed the hell outta me! ║ ║ Hemp Hoodlum : Thanks for everything. ║ ║ The Punisher : people are doubting that you are #1 man! ║ ║ Uncle John : Thanks for all the help! ║ ║ Crackpot : Thanks for the patience! ║ ║ All The Rest : Vengeance, Ustasa, Retaliator, Tinox, ║ ║ Dogfriend, and Shatter Star... ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Super Hacker Interviewee : Lester ║ ║ Subject : Amnesia Affiliation : Amnesia Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current postion in the group Amnesia? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : I'm in a leader of Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How did Amnesia came about? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Amnesia came about when a few of us decided to leave the courier ║ ║ group MALiCE, because of personal and miscellaneous conflicts ║ ║ along with some other problems. We decided to start our own ║ ║ group. The name was just thrown in there. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When Amnesia started, did you guys face any serious problems? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We ran into a few problems, one was with Captain Blood. He was ║ ║ one of the few people that we started the group with originally. ║ ║ He caused a lot of problems and split off to form his own group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Captian Blood's group still messing with Amnesia, or his group ║ ║ pretty much dead? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Captain Blood's group is still alive, but he was kicked out of it. ║ ║ They are cool with us and don't fuck with us anymore. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What was the name of the Captain Blood's courier group? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : The name was, and still is Rapier. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I noticed that Amnesia and Digital held a friendly competition, ║ ║ what was that all about? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : It was suggested by a courier in Amnesia to compete against ║ ║ Digital. Eventually, I agreed to it and 6 Amnesia couriers ║ ║ competed with 15 Digital couriers on a site for a week. The ║ ║ competition ended on May 2, 1996, about an hour ago. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What was the result of the competition? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Amnesia won by about 30 megs or so. It was fairly close toward ║ ║ the end, but there was alot of crap uploaded by both sides, so it ║ ║ wasn't really that fun. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Amnesia better in Internet couriering or BBS couriering? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : Amnesia is equally good in both aspects of couriering. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What does one have to do to become an Amnesia member? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : The Internet division is closed, but the BBS division requires ║ ║ that you trade long distance and that you do about 200 megs a ║ ║ week. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Amnesia "official couriers" for any release groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We have a few "unofficial" officials, but I have not agreed to ║ ║ officially courier for any release group as of yet. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is the summer of 1996 going to have a major impact on Amnesia? ║ ║ Most SiteOps are in college and take leave during the summer, and ║ ║ as result, many FTP sites go down. ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : I don't think it will have a big effect on Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How old is Amnesia, and what are Amnesia's future plans? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We have been around for 2 months now. Our future plans are to ║ ║ just to have more fun by moving some files, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What makes Amnesia different from any other group? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : We just try to have fun and we try not get too involved in the ║ ║ politics of it all, at least I try not to. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your general feeling toward the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ LES : I feel that the scene is going down the tubes. There is too much ║ ║ back stabbing and ego trips. It's gotten way out of hand. It's ║ ║ supposed to be a fun hobby, an escape from reality,people take it ║ ║ way too seriously though.

I always avoided trouble. We ║ ║ might have had some trouble with MindCrash. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Can you give us some background information on Digital? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Devast and I both used to be in MindCrash, when The Wicked One and ║ ║ Avoozl ran it. When I first joined, I didn't know much political ║ ║ things about it. All I knew is that it was a plain old couriering ║ ║ group, and I became a senior, then what happened was, I found out ║ ║ that The Wicked One didn't like Devast too much. Devast said that ║ ║ he would courier whenever he wanted to. He'd courier nothing and ║ ║ then sometimes he does 150 megs. The Wicked One said that he was ║ ║ going to kick Devast out of MindCrash but Devast decided to quit ║ ║ before he'd get kicked out. So be it, and I found out about it, ║ ║ but didn't care at first. Then The Wicked One and Avoozl got a ║ ║ job together, and were busy; I tried to take care of MindCrash, ║ ║ but none of the couriers respected me like a senior. I got pissed ║ ║ and left. Then I met Devast, and he decided to start a couriering ║ ║ group with me. At first, it was going to be Devast, Creed, ║ ║ Desolation Angel and me, but then Desolation Angel dropped out. ║ ║ Devast and I were debating on a name, and came up with Digital and ║ ║ that's how it all started... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Which other courier groups are currently competing with Digital? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : We're not really in competition; we were just challenged into a ║ ║ competition with Amnesia, and Devast decided to go for it, but I ║ ║ wouldn't call it an actual competition. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Will you call this a friendly competition, or something that just ║ ║ keeps the group on their toes? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : I'd consider it kind of both. We have a great bunch of guys in ║ ║ Digital; no egos, nothing. We're out just to have fun and to ║ ║ courier, but I wouldn't call it a rivalry between the two groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is the summer of 1996 going to have a major impact on Digital? ║ ║ Most SiteOps are in college and take leave during the summer, and ║ ║ as result, many FTP sites go down. ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Not too sure, I dont' really know. Actually it all depends on the ║ ║ couriers and SiteOps themselves. I mean, we are a serious group, ║ ║ but at same time, a lot of us have fun at it... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So Digital is not worried about the summer time blues? Because ║ ║ summer is when several groups come up and many go out because like ║ ║ I said several group members go out of town and sites go down. ║ ║ Digital is not worried about that all? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Well, we are worried, but eventually, summer will end, so things ║ ║ will go back to normal I guess, but it's all so unpredictable. ║ ║ There's nothing I can do about it even if I'm worried. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How does the competition between Amnesia and Digital work? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : You see, we upload to see who gets more within the week. I'm not ║ ║ really into it. Devast organized it and all on BBX, and it's ║ ║ going out pretty fun. I don't really care who wins or loses ║ ║ actually, the whole point is just to upload. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you have any last few comments towards the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : For one thing, I am starting to see what Cyber Angel meant when he ║ ║ said "It's pointless to move other peoples' files." Releasing ║ ║ groups are the big time winners easily. But towards Digital, ║ ║ well, we've made quite a bit of improvement with some merges, and ║ ║ we don't have no egos flying, so it's going out pretty good, and ║ ║ we're keeping the competition between Amnesia really tight, even ║ ║ though they have a couple of great couriers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Uploading other peoples file is hard work. There's only a certain ║ ║ amount of uploading each group can do. No group can call every ║ ║ BBS in the world to upload all their new releases, and Digital as ║ ║ a group is putting alot of effort moving the warez, and that is ║ ║ suffice to say that courier groups are needed in order for the ║ ║ scene to thrive. ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : Thanks, we're just doing our share for the scene. As for calling ║ ║ every BBS, it's just the speed of it that you get it on.

What made you choose those groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Well, RiSC and Razor 1911 are the best, and I'm friends with Third ║ ║ Son so I decided to joined Scum. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your position in each one of the groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : I'm a bulletin board courier in all three. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What do you think puts RiSC on top and has kept it there for so ║ ║ long? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : RiSC has the finest traders, bulletin boards, and FTP sites ║ ║ around. We dominate both the Internet and the boards. Everyone ║ ║ works their assess off, and we have quality leaders. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Razor 1911 has also been around for a long time, but lately it has ║ ║ been getting a lot of competition from such groups as Dynamix, ║ ║ Hybrid, and Napalm. Do you think that Razor 1911 is still #1 in ║ ║ the games scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Yes, of course. Not to group bash, but we release quality, ║ ║ WORKING releases. The best games are always released by Razor ║ ║ 1911. We also have the best trading team of any games group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Well I don't doubt that it worked, but a couple of days ago Razor ║ ║ 1911 released Tyrian. Was that a real release? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Yes, that was newer version of Tyrian. If people would have ║ ║ looked closely they would have noticed that, it wasn't a dupe. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yeah, I didn't think it was because it didn't get nuked anywhere. ║ ║ Well, that's cool, in that case, I'll go download it, I heard it's ║ ║ an awesome game. What do you think of Napalm?

From now on, Razor 1911 will still release a game even if ║ ║ Napalm has already released it. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : That sounds like a plan. What do you think about RiSC's policy to ║ ║ support only "top 10" boards? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : I think it makes sense. Why bother with other boards? They're ║ ║ too easy! RiSC members need to go where the competition is :) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Don't you think that the small multinode boards deserve some ║ ║ support, though? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : If they are RiSC, then I am sure they get support, but more effort ║ ║ goes into the bigger boards, RiSC is more net based then BBS based ║ ║ anyhow. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you referring to IRC on the Internet or FTP sites? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : FTP sites, RiSC is #1 on every site, guaranteed. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are the requirements to become a courier for RiSC? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : There are no set requirements, anyone that can do the job can get ║ ║ in. RiSC is the hardest courier group to get into though. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many hours per week do you spend couriering for RiSC? What is ║ ║ the job description of being a RiSC member? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : I'll tell you this, I spend a LOT of time couriering. It's a lot ║ ║ of work. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : About Scum, what is your feeling towards the general consensus ║ ║ that Scum came back only to reiterate its past glories and that it ║ ║ is failing pathetically compared to its old potential as one of ║ ║ the scene's leading utils groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : If that's what people think, well, Scum will get better, it's ║ ║ really just based on a bunch of friends hanging out. If we aren't ║ ║ the #1 in utils, no big deal. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : That's an awesome attitude, it is only through calmness and trust ║ ║ in time that a group gets better. What do you have to say to the ║ ║ wealth that left Scum for PWA (Pirates with Attitudes)? ║ ║ ║ ║ EVR : Well, PWA is #1 right now, so it makes sense that good suppliers ║ ║ go with the best utils group. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Super Hacker Interviewee : Rapid Motion ║ ║ Subject : Hostile Affiliation : Hostile Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current position in Hostile? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : I am the founder and leader of Hostile. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How old is Hostile, and what type of group is it? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Hostile was formed in late January early February of 96. We ║ ║ currently release utils and PPEs (PCBoard Programming Executable). ║ ║ We used to release both games and utils, but we no longer release ║ ║ both. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why don't you release both games and utils anymore? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : We used to release both games and utils but we have narrowed it ║ ║ down to just utils and PPEs because we have a sister group called ║ ║ Lensmen which is our games division. We give Lensmen our games ║ ║ and in turn, they give us their utils. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When Hositle was first created, did it come upon any problems such ║ ║ as splits or break ups? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Not at first, but then we started coming upon an onslaught of ║ ║ problems when I made Perfect Form a leader in Hostile. He took ║ ║ advantage of the position I gave him and he tried to split up my ║ ║ group. I then kicked him and that drove Hostile into a low point ║ ║ in the scene. After kicking him from the group, there were some ║ ║ members that were uncertain what direction the group was taking. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When you kicked Perfect Form out of Hostile, did it backfire? Did ║ ║ your group suffer significantly? Most group members like to ║ ║ follow their leader, and since you and Perfect Form were leader, ║ ║ did they have a hard time picking between who to follow? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : No, Perfect Form was a leader ranked below me. I had a few ║ ║ members that followed me. Most of the great members stuck with ║ ║ Hostile and did not follow Perfect Form because he was doing some ║ ║ very lame things. In the end, Perfect Form's expulsion ║ ║ strengthened Hostile and we got BETTER suppliers. All my old ║ ║ active suppliers came back to the group, and the group is still ║ ║ under construction somewhat but it is now doing better and is ║ ║ stronger than it has been. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are your future plans for Hostile? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : I will like to strengthen the group more and get Hostile more ║ ║ noticed in the utils scene. I am strenghtening Hostile by making ║ ║ it a more stable group, and to do that, we're working on brining ║ ║ more quality releases to the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How does one become a member of Hostile? Are there any positions ║ ║ available in Hostile? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Hostile has an application WHQ (Tower of Sorcery) that is still ║ ║ under construction. We also have special application PPEs on ║ ║ Shroom's board, and we also offer our applications on IRC. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Hostile in the scene to become #1 by ruining the competition or ║ ║ is it just here for fun? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : We have places in the group for those who are productive ║ ║ suppliers. We also have room for FAST traders and for those who ║ ║ wish to code PPEs, etc. Anyone who has something to offer is ║ ║ welcome to the group. We are here for personal satisfaction, and ║ ║ that's what it's all about. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So bascially, Hostile is not here for the competition and is not ║ ║ actively looking for competition? Is my assumption correct? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : In a sense, yes, we would like to compete but we're not planning ║ ║ to lose any sleep if we cannot compete with DOD or PWA. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When Hostile does start to compete, which other utils groups will ║ ║ be it's major competiton? ║ ║ ║ ║ RAP : Hostile is currently competing with COPS, Pinnacle, Scum, and ║ ║ X-Force. I don't think we are ready to compete with DOD or PWA ║ ║ yet. Hostile is here to stay, and we hope to gain the same ║ ║ respect we give to other groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Perfect Form ║ ║ Subject : Perfect Form Affiliation : Ex-Hostile Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : A few months ago, you were kicked out of Demolition despite the ║ ║ fact that you were a senior in that group. You were accused of ║ ║ stealing suppliers for a rival group. However, that accusation ║ ║ was proved to be false since you were not trying to steal ║ ║ suppliers, but you were trying to steal artists. But that is ║ ║ ancient history. In the recent weeks, you were again kicked out ║ ║ of a group you were supposedly a "leader/senior" of. You were ║ ║ kicked out of Hostile because you were again attempting to steal ║ ║ members, breaking up the group, and causing havoc. What do you ║ ║ have to say about your recent "kicked in the ass by your own ║ ║ group?" ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Well, I was in Hostile. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I know that. ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I did everyting for that group and I put in 100% effort. It was a ║ ║ good group when I was in it, when I was running the show. ║ ║ However, Rapid Motion knows DICK SHIT. I have not tried to break ║ ║ up the group in any way whatsoever. Rapid Motion is making up ║ ║ bullshit again. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You admit that you gave 100% for the group, what exactly did you ║ ║ do for the group? You also said that you RAN the group? Didn't ║ ║ Rapid Motion outrank you? Were there conflicts between you two, a ║ ║ power struggle perhaps? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Yes, I gave Hostile 100%. There was a power struggle, *YOU* can ║ ║ ask anyone what Hostile was when I was running it. I had good ║ ║ members in it, that were doing everything to make it even better. ║ ║ I admit that I brought in some lamers too, and suppliers that ║ ║ duped, but I had it all fixed. Ever since I left, it's become ║ ║ just another lame ass group run by a guy who just wants to be the ║ ║ leader of a group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So you played such a major role in Hostile, that when you left, it ║ ║ could not survive without you? ONE person killed the group? ║ ║ *YOU* basically killed the WHOLE group, and you didn't even take ║ ║ anyone with you? I could believe if 75% of the group left ║ ║ Hostile, and then it culdn't function, but how could 1 person ║ ║ leaving devastate the group so much? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I put in 100% effort to making sure that Hostile would survive ║ ║ when I was in it. Why did it die? Well, because I had brought ║ ║ everyone in it and I knew how to run a group and it released ║ ║ almost everyday and every member worked their asses off. When I ║ ║ left, nearly all the suppliers and couriers left for other groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The fact that you brought in a lot of members that didn't do ║ ║ anything for the group is what caused so much trouble for Hostile. ║ ║ You brought in too many lamers who didn't know what they were ║ ║ doing or did nothing, and the suppliers that you did help bring ║ ║ into the group only supplied dupes, and that in your 100% effort ║ ║ to make it a good group, you essentially killed it. Then I must ║ ║ ask, what group you did join after you left Hostile, and where did ║ ║ "nearly all the suppliers and couriers" leave for (which other ║ ║ group)? Why did they join other groups? Why did not follow you ║ ║ around since you were their true leader? Or perhaps, you ║ ║ overrated your own leadership and importance, and the rest of ║ ║ Hostile saw that, and that can be why they did not follow you ║ ║ either. ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Yes, I have to admit I brought in a couple of lamers, and ║ ║ suppliers that supplied dupes, but most of the supplies did supply ║ ║ unreleased utils. I have no idea where "nearly all the suppliers ║ ║ and couriers" went to after Hostile split up. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Okay, now that we have it clear that *YOU* ran Hostile, then what ║ ║ did the Rapid Motion (the other leader) do? Did he just sit on ║ ║ his ass watching you give 100% for HIS group? What's the deal ║ ║ with him? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Rapid Motion just sat there watching me do everything, proclaiming ║ ║ himself leader when he did nothing. All he would do is, logon and ║ ║ see how everything was going, and then he'd log right back off. ║ ║ ALL I have to say is, ask anyone what Hostile was like when I was ║ ║ running it. Ever since i left, it's become a crappy utils group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you do most of the packaging of the releases? Who packaged ║ ║ more releases? You or Rapid Motion? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I did. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many releases did you package, and how many releases did he ║ ║ package? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Rapid Motion didn't even package a single thing since the ║ ║ suppliers didn't even know who he was. I packaged most of the ║ ║ stuff, along with my friend Weed. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Who packaged more releases? You or Weed? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : I packaged a few more than he did. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So you packaged more, did either of you do any dupe checking? ║ ║ Cause Hostile sure did release a lot of dupes, I don't need to ║ ║ name any, because it would just be more embarrassing, but anyways, ║ ║ those dupes were obviously not Rapid Motion's fault, since he ║ ║ didn't package anything. Then the packager of those dupes must ║ ║ have either been you or Weed. Who did package all the dupes? You ║ ║ or weed, or did both of you package all the dupes? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Neither of us packaged any dupes. The suppliers, packaged the ║ ║ dupes when I specifically told them not to. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Wow, great way to shift the blame. So you never actually packaged ║ ║ any dupes? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : No, I have not packaged any dupes. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The way I take it is, if you are the lamer and loser everyone ║ ║ calls you, then you would only have enemies. Do you have any ║ ║ friends (on IRC)? ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Yes, I have a couple of friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Name a few? We'd all like to know. ║ ║ ║ ║ PER : Dragon Hunter, Misha, Lost Soul, Grudge, Corvette, Captain Blood, ║ ║ LoLo, Shatter Star, CP, and Prozac are my friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Lucifers Fear ║ ║ Subject : Charges Laid ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The following articles are based on information obtained from "The ║ ║ Chronicle-Journal" Saturday, April 20, 1996. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ A city man, known as "The Anarchist" on IRC, will be appearing in ║ ║ the Ontario Court's provincial division May 7 facing nine charges ║ ║ relating to child pornography and pirated software. ║ ║ ║ ║ Geza Tibor Arnoth, 18, of 417 Brown St. faces seven Criminal Code ║ ║ and two copywright charges in connection with the operation of a ║ ║ computer bulletin board which was seized in January. Police allege that ║ ║ Arnoth was running an electronic bulletin board that offered child ║ ║ pornography and pirated software to anyone who had a mdoem and computer ║ ║ to download the material. ║ ║ ║ ║ A modem is a device that turns data from your computer into a signal ║ ║ that can be transmitted over a telephone line. The computer at the ║ ║ other end of the telephone connection also requires a modem. ║ ║ ║ ║ Arnoth was charged with the following offenses : ║ ║ ║ ║ * Possession of obscene material for the purpose of ║ ║ distribution. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Distribution of obscene material. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Possession of crime comics for the purpose of ║ ║ distribution. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Distribution of crime comics. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Possession of child pornography. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Possession of child pornography for the purpose of ║ ║ distribution. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Distribution of child pornography. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Offering, by way of trade, copywright protected ║ ║ software. ║ ║ ║ ║ * Distribution of copyright protected software. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCMP Const. Tom James and Thunder Bay Police Det. Brian Peltonen had ║ ║ been sifting through thousands of graphic and text files over the past ║ ║ three months since they seized two computers in Westfort on Jan. 23. ║ ║ Although this was the first case in Thunder Bay, police say child ║ ║ pornography via the Internet and electronic bulletin boards are the most ║ ║ common forms of distribtution. James said earlier some of the messages ║ ║ they had found on the bulletin board "scary but not surprising." Police ║ ║ had been gathering evidence since January and chose to execute search ║ ║ warrants over a few days in March to try to surprise people operating ║ ║ bulletin boards. James said if suspects knew ahead of time they would ║ ║ be investigated, they could just pull the plug, delete files or copy ║ ║ them onto disks and hide them. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Cyberspace is like a lot of other places. Go looking for trouble ║ ║ and you're likely find it. When it comes to the Internet, there are ║ ║ resources for people who would deny the Holocaust, for those looking for ║ ║ detailed instructions on making pipe bombs, and, as Thunder Bay recently ║ ║ learned, for those interested in the distribution of child pornography. ║ ║ ║ ║ Thunder Bay RCMP charged 18-year-old Geza Tibor Arnoth Friday with ║ ║ seven criminal charges. Arnoth is charged with running an electronic ║ ║ bulletin board accessible via the Internet that offered child ║ ║ pornography and pirated software to anyone who had a modem and computer ║ ║ to download the material. ║ ║ ║ ║ At present there's little to prevent people in Northwestern Ontario ║ ║ from acquiring child pornography - if they are determined enough to ║ ║ search for it on the Internet. That's because the material Arnoth is ║ ║ charged with distributing is just like a drop in a very large bucket. ║ ║ Using widely-available Internet search tools such as Alta Vista and ║ ║ Yahoo, anyone with an Internet account can find dozens of Internet ║ ║ newsgroups, web pages and other electronic resources catering to child ║ ║ pornographers and pedophilla. Some of those recources are nothing more ║ ║ than a lot of dirty words; other recources enable an Internet surfer to ║ ║ access graphic decipitions of sexual acts involving minors. ║ ║ Representitaves of the North American Man/Boy Love Association, for ║ ║ instance, show up in newsgroups arguing in favour of consensual sex ║ ║ between adults and 10-year-old boys. While he topic of their discussion ║ ║ may not be for everyone, the language they use seems to be no worse than ║ ║ that found in a newspaper editorial. It's difficult to gauge the extent ║ ║ of pornography on the Internet. It's even more difficult in many cases ║ ║ for police to track down the perpetrators. ║ ║ ║ ║ A Thunder Bay resident, for instance, could distribute pornography ║ ║ from a computer located in the Philippines. While police try to sort ║ ║ out international jurisdictional and legal issues, a pornographer could ║ ║ be switching the computer distribution point to Poland or any number of ║ ║ countries. ║ ║ ║ ║ Cracking Internet pornography rings requires police with ║ ║ sophisticated new tools. It also requires applying what are in many ║ ║ cases arcane laws to very modern circumstances. Internet groups ║ ║ estimate there may be as many as 20 to 60 million Internet users around ║ ║ the world, the vast majority of whom, as Internet advocates will say, ║ ║ use the global network of computers for largely legtimate purposes. ║ ║ Still, one Finnish researcher tried to get a handle on child pornography ║ ║ in a survey last year. ║ ║ ║ ║ Researcher Mats Wiklund monitored four Internet newsgroups that deal ║ ║ with pornographic pictures for one week in late 1995. Newsgroups are ║ ║ part of the Internet in which users can exchange electronic messages. ║ ║ Among the images he saw were eight pictures of children Wiklund ║ ║ estimated to be between eight and 13 years old. He reported that none ║ ║ of the pictures show intercourse or other explicit sexual activity, ║ ║ although five of the pictures had text on them offering more pictures of ║ ║ nude children through electronic bulletin boards and electronic mail. ║ ║ But as many Internet authorities have pointed out since then, it's ║ ║ difficult to take Wiklund's survey as representative because the quality ║ ║ and quantity of Internet information can change radically from day to ║ ║ day. ║ ║ ║ ║ Despite the difficulty of tracking down pornographers, many ║ ║ governments are trying to pass new laws to make Internet distribution of ║ ║ pornography illegal. The U.S. recently passed the controversial ║ ║ Communications Decency Act which its critics say is too broad and ║ ║ restricts free speech. The Canadian government has not yet passed any ║ ║ such laws, although it is under pressure to do so. ║ ║ ║ ║ At this point, then, it is up to individual Internet users to act as ║ ║ their own censor.

He ║ ║ made a stop at almost every school to do a 2 hour presentation on ║ ║ piracy, pornography and hacking. ║ ║ ║ ║ The main articles that were pointed out during his boring ║ ║ presentation were stories on pornography, stories on hacking, and of ║ ║ course, stories on piracy. Being so lucky, he picked me as the one to ║ ║ answer every law and punishment concerning piracy. Answering his ║ ║ questions, possession and distribution of piracy in Canada could result ║ ║ with a 10 years or up to life in prison, and/or fines up to a million ║ ║ dollars along with a civil suit. ║ ║ ║ ║ After his presentation, I had a talk with him myself. He informed ║ ║ me that I was still under investigation and liable for prosecution ║ ║ because The Anarchist has pointed his finger at me for all the blame. ║ ║ What a fucker, he has no evidence on me. I questioned ║ ║ him about the procedure of busting bulletin boards in Canada, he said ║ ║ you have to get on, be able to download warez without vilolating any ║ ║ crimes, then put the file(s) on diskette and test them out. Also, since ║ ║ I was bored I asked him on the use of disclaimers on bulletin boards ║ ║ since they are used so often on many U.S. bulletin boards. He laughed ║ ║ and said to me, "So what, I'm a cop. Does that mean I can't get on a ║ ║ bulletin board?" Obviously he has no clue about anything because that ║ ║ would mean he is violating his own ass, considering that the dumbass ║ ║ goes on local bulletin boards asking questions on oneliners such as ║ ║ "Anyone know where I can get some cool pirated software? I'm bored." ║ ║ Furthermore, this goes to show that Tom James is another example of the ║ ║ one we all love, Chris Carter.

This ║ ║ competition was the result of some childish bickering over which group ║ ║ was better. This ultimately ended in a competition, which, after all, ║ ║ is what courier groups are for! The guidelines for the competition were ║ ║ that Amnesia be allowed 6 traders and Digital 15. For the record, ║ ║ Digital did not require all 15, but Amnesia insisted we take 15 traders. ║ ║ The site to which we were to compete on was BBX. ║ ║ ║ ║ To give you a little background information on who is who, I will ║ ║ talk about my opinions as a Digital trader. Digital is a courier group ║ ║ that was formed by Devast and Silent Mobius. Digital is, in my opinion, ║ ║ one of the better couriering groups in the scene today. It is limited ║ ║ only by its organization and resources. Although our organization is ║ ║ very good, we lack the ability to cater to the widely diverse traders. ║ ║ Our group does not depend on a single dictator or council, but ║ ║ individuals that make decisions for themselves. Digital has a ║ ║ thoroughly different style of couriering when it comes to competition. ║ ║ I think our competing style is many times better, but at the same time ║ ║ our board and other sections are completely neglected. I think this is ║ ║ a pretty good assessment of Digital. Our only major problem is a lack ║ ║ of traders on the top sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ As for my opinion of Amnesia, as a group, I think they are one of ║ ║ the best at doing what they do. I really know very little about their ║ ║ group as a whole and how they run their ship, so I won't comment there. ║ ║ Suffice it to say that this group shows much promise. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now that you've heard about the groups, let's talk about the ║ ║ competition. This competition was not what I would have expected. ║ ║ There were many severe problems that confused both groups in this ║ ║ ordeal. ║ ║ ║ ║ First off, the decision of the site to which we were to courier to ║ ║ lead to many problems. BBX is a fast site in terms of new warez, but ║ ║ when all the Digital and Amnesia couriers raced to BBX, there weren't ║ ║ enough user slots to support them. When the SiteOp graciously added ║ ║ more slots, the speed of transfers and the overall performance of the ║ ║ board dropped. In his words it was a lose/lose situation. The more ║ ║ slots he added, the poorer the performance. Many release disks were ║ ║ lost on Digital's side, and I'd imagine the same was true for Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ Secondly, the Amnesia traders had nuke access on BBX, and there was ║ ║ foul play to say the least. I will not dwell on the topic because I ║ ║ would not want to embarass anyone. Also, many of my resources were ║ ║ sabotaged during and before the competition. I allowed Pericles to use ║ ║ my account and therefore gain access to his sites. There was much ║ ║ debate, and in the end, I must say that I should have respected the ║ ║ SiteOp's rules, and am sorry for using their sites without permision. ║ ║ ║ ║ Many people say that I was using the accounts unjustly and I was not ║ ║ a good trader without those sites. I must concur, because any trader ║ ║ without his resourecs is nothing, you can only be as fast as your ║ ║ resources allow you to be. I feel bad for losing the sites, but not as ║ ║ bad as I feel for those of you that got them taken away from me. ║ ║ ║ ║ Thirdly, and worst of all, there was intense competition and group ║ ║ pride. Name calling and bickering were rampant. There was a bit of ║ ║ bitterness in the whole area, brought upon by big egos clashing. I am ║ ║ sorry for any bickering I may have participated in, in general, I'm sure ║ ║ we all look at the arguments as petty and childish. ║ ║ ║ ║ I think it is safe to say both groups are severely competitive when ║ ║ threatened. This competition was started when Digital felt that it was ║ ║ being discredited by Amnesia. When an Amnesia courier stepped over the ║ ║ line, it was all a chain reaction from there, egos and group pride led ║ ║ to a competition. It is my opinion that this competition has brought out ║ ║ the worst in both groups. I'm sure all our egos got the bet of us at ║ ║ one point. However, it is all necessary to prove our "worth." ║ ║ ║ ║ The final score of the competition was 702 Digital and 729 Amnesia. ║ ║ This was based on a week-long competition held at BBX; Amnesia's U.S. ║ ║ Headquarters (nice site BTW). 15 Digital traders and 6 Amnesia traders ║ ║ went at it (Although I think no more than 7 Digital traders actually ║ ║ uploaded). It was a battle to say the least. I must say Dark Eclipse ║ ║ from Digital stole the show by uploading 347 or so megs holding the top ║ ║ uploader out of both groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ At the very beginning of the competition, I think Digital started ║ ║ strong, however after a nuke on a massive release, Digital fell behind. ║ ║ By the end of day 1, Digital reaffirmed its grasp with a small lead. ║ ║ Digital led for the majority of the contest until Wednesday where in one ║ ║ leap, Amnesia managed to upload some 250 megs taking the leady by ║ ║ approximtely 200 megs. On Thursday (the last day) Digital began ║ ║ uploading massively and began narrowing down the margin. Then we got ║ ║ news that a release that Amnesia had uploaded was nuked (100 megs). ║ ║ With a massive 55 disk release in hand, Digital was ready to take first ║ ║ place, however complications with BBX's user limit and idling traders ║ ║ made it impossible to do so. ║ ║ ║ ║ Many people helped Digital along the way, and I'd like to take the ║ ║ time to thank them. RiSC, thanks for all the support! fATE, thanks for ║ ║ the emotional support! ║ ║ ║ ║ According to Trite, RiSC is #1, MALiCe is #2, Amnesia is #3, Digital ║ ║ is #4, and Everlast is #5. I don't think he is in the position to ║ ║ judge, however, because he knows so little about both Digital and ║ ║ Amnesia. Some of the information in his "Review" was completely false, ║ ║ and I do believe that Amnesia has the #2 position to say the least. ║ ║ MALiCE is good, but Amnesia is sporting some of the best Internet ║ ║ traders in the scene (Prozac, Davan, etc.). I think all groups have ║ ║ their ups and downs, so we shall see. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Super Hacker ║ ║ Subject : Revenge on Piracy ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The following article is based on information obtained from newspapers ║ ║ and magazines. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ The Business Software Alliance estimates that software piracy steals ║ ║ more than $15 billion a year from the coffers of software publishers and ║ ║ it is for that reason that Congress is preparing to shore up the laws ║ ║ dealing with using the Internet for piracy purposes. ║ ║ ║ ║ In early November 1995 the first hearings were held before a joint ║ ║ session of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary ║ ║ Subcommittee to begin taking testimony on the new NII Copyright ║ ║ Protection Act (H.R.2441 and S. 1284). The National Information ║ ║ Infrastructure or NII is what the Internet is referred to by the ║ ║ government. The Copyright Protection Act is designed to ensure that ║ ║ copyrighted works are fully protected on the Internet and other ║ ║ telecommunications networks. ║ ║ ║ ║ This move to shore-up the copyright laws comes on the heels of some ║ ║ high-profile criminal cases. Thomas Nick Alefantes of Los Angeles was ║ ║ arrested in November after the L.A district Attorney's Office and ║ ║ antipiracy investigators raided his home following allegations that he ║ ║ operated a software piracy operation. Lawmen seized $1 million worth of ║ ║ illegally copied software. Alefantes, known on-line as Captain Blood, ║ ║ sold and rented pirated software after advertising in trade magazines. ║ ║ Autodesk Inc, CEO Carl Bartz was quoted in Wall Street Journal as saying ║ ║ she was grateful for Alefantes's arrest because, "...our losses over the ║ ║ past five years from this man's alleged activities add to millions of ║ ║ dollars..." ║ ║ ║ ║ Alefantes was charged with two felony counts of fraud and trademark ║ ║ violations with bail set at a quarter million dollars. All this ║ ║ attention to the pirating of very expensive productivity programs will ║ ║ surely cast a spotlight on the widespread pirating of computer games. ║ ║ Most of this pirating is more like two, three, or four friends buying ║ ║ one copy of a game and then copying it for distribution among ║ ║ themselves. But even this has software publishers up in arms. Software ║ ║ developers AND publishers are seriously concerned about the unauthorized ║ ║ copying and trafficking of software. The Internet's future as a ║ ║ commercial distribution channel is big, says Jay Willbur of Id Software. ║ ║ "My company's software is routinely pirated on the Internet, even before ║ ║ it's released." ║ ║ ║ ║ Wilbur was joined in supporting the Copyright Protection Act by the ║ ║ Software Publishers Association. SPA counsel Mark Traphagen says the ║ ║ new act is targeted toward criminal intentions, but what about teenagers ║ ║ who feel pirating games like copying their favorite music CD, is okay? ║ ║ ║ ║ "In general" Traphagen says, "the legislation will not change the ║ ║ attitudes of those children who think that copyright infringement is ║ ║ okay. What will change those attitudes is education and both the SPA ║ ║ and the U.S. government have made a commitment in educating the next ║ ║ generation of computer software users about how important it is to ║ ║ respect copyrights, both on and off the Internet." ║ ║ ║ ║ For nearly a year, the SPA and other concerned groups and companies ║ ║ have pooled their resources to convince software users not to pirate ║ ║ software. Part of this effort is the "Don't Copy That Floppy Campaign". ║ ║ Traphagen says there are no plans to hunt down teen pirates, but this ║ ║ act is the beginning of legislation that will ensure that there are ║ ║ safeguards in place in order that they can do business on the Internet ║ ║ without losing their financial shirts because of piracy. ║ ║ ║ ║ "It's going to help promote the commercial development of some parts ║ ║ of the Internet," he says, "In several ways. First of all it's going to ║ ║ clarify what we believe is existing law, which is the transmissions of ║ ║ copyrighted works, including software, are fully protected by copyright ║ ║ law." ║ ║ ║ ║ Traphagen says the act would remove any doubt that software ║ ║ copyright infringements can and will be dealt with as in the Alefantes ║ ║ case. One of the new provisions of the act would prohibit the ║ ║ manufacture, sale or use of so called "Black boxes," which are devices ║ ║ or services, including software theater used to circumvent encryption or ║ ║ copy protection. Taphagen says this is already part of the law dealing ║ ║ with encrypted satellite television broadcasts and the SPA wants to see ║ ║ this extended to the Internet and on-line transmissions as well. ║ ║ ║ ║ As the supporting lobbying groups begin to voice their wants the act ║ ║ could include more provisions such as making copyright infringements a ║ ║ crime even if there is no private financial gain. That strikes very ║ ║ close to home for gamers. More testimony is expected in the first ║ ║ quarter of 1996 before both committees and the new NII Copyright ║ ║ Protections Act is expected to become law late in 1996. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : <Undisclosed> ║ ║ Subject : Chris Carter ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Date: Sun, 28 Apr 1996 01:02:01 -0500 (CDT) ║ ║ From: Chris Carter <[email protected]> ║ ║ To: [email protected] ║ ║ Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ║ ║ Subject: Software Piracy from [email protected] ║ ║ ║ ║ Dear John Doe: ║ ║ ║ ║ I have found a user in your Internet domain who plays a large role ║ ║ in the distribution of copyrighted software on the Internet.

Undue ║ ║ conflict between user and administrator and possibly resulting in the ║ ║ loss of accounts, if not involvement by state/local/federal authorities. ║ ║ Chris Carter's tactics seem to be strategic and premeditative in nature, ║ ║ a direct attack on the reputation of whomever he chooses to harass. ║ ║ ║ ║ It is encouraged that the unethical and unlawful behavior of Chris ║ ║ Carter be stopped, to protect privacy, freedom of speech, reputations of ║ ║ the innocent and prevent him from abusing any other computer systems ║ ║ through subversive and/or illegal "hacking" methods. ║ ║ ║ ║ Chris Carter certainly gets around. Upon mention of his name, many ║ ║ people have spoken out in outrage at his actions and methods. This ║ ║ e-mail is a collective result of concerned citizens in both the United ║ ║ States and abroad.

For beginners a basic wordlist can be found as a dictionary ║ ║ file supplied as a part of UNIX. The more comprehensive the wordlist ║ ║ is, the better your chances of successfully cracking passwords. Next ║ ║ you'll need a "passwd" cracker, which can be found in versions made for ║ ║ UNIX & DOS. The best DOS cracker is currently CrackerJack and the best ║ ║ UNIX cracker is currently Crack. Next, run the "cracking" program and ║ ║ feed it your wordlist and passwd file, and watch as it "cracks" the ║ ║ passwords. ║ ║ ║ ║ Sometimes you'll discover that the "passwd" file is incomplete or ║ ║ looks something like this : ║ ║ ║ ║ bgates:*:5604:12:William Gates:/home/bgates:/bin/bash ║ ║ ║ ║ The * is called the token and means that the passwd file has been ║ ║ shadowed. Password shadowing is a security system where the encrypted ║ ║ password field of /etc/passwd is replaced with a special token and the ║ ║ encrypted password is stored in a separate file which is not readable by ║ ║ normal system users. In order to defeat this, you'll need to write a C ║ ║ program and compile it similar to this : ║ ║ ║ ║ -------Sample UnShadow Program------------------------------------------ ║ ║ ║ ║ #include <pwd.h> ║ ║ main() ║ ║ { ║ ║ struct passwd *p; ║ ║ while(p=getpwent()) ║ ║ printf("%s:%s:%d:%d:%s:%s:%s\n", p->pw_name, p->pw_passwd, ║ ║ p->pw_uid, p->pw_gid, p->pw_gecos, p->pw_dir, p->pw_shell); ║ ║ } ║ ║ ║ ║ -------End of Sample Program-------------------------------------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ The "passwd" file is located in the following pathes for each ║ ║ system. To determine your UNIX system type, enter the following during ║ ║ the UNIX prompt : ║ ║ ║ ║ uname -a ║ ║ ║ ║ UNIX Paths (Courtesy of 2600) ║ ║ ║ ║ UNIX Path Token ║ ║ ----------------------------------------------------------------- ║ ║ AIX 3 /etc/security/passwd ! ║ ║ or /tcb/auth/files/<first letter # ║ ║ of username>/<username> ║ ║ A/UX 3.0s /tcb/files/auth/?/* ║ ║ BSD4.3-Reno /etc/master.passwd * ║ ║ ConvexOS 10 /etc/shadpw * ║ ║ ConvexOS 11 /etc/shadow * ║ ║ DG/UX /etc/tcb/aa/user/ * ║ ║ EP/IX /etc/shadow x ║ ║ HP-UX /.secure/etc/passwd * ║ ║ IRIX 5 /etc/shadow x ║ ║ Linux 1.1 /etc/shadow * ║ ║ OSF/1 /etc/passwd[.dir|.pag] * ║ ║ SCO Unix #.2.x /tcb/auth/files/<first letter * ║ ║ of username>/<username> ║ ║ SunOS4.1+c2 /etc/security/passwd.adjunct ##username ║ ║ SunOS 5.0 /etc/shadow ║ ║ <optional NIS+ private secure maps/tables> ║ ║ System V Release 4.0 /etc/shadow x ║ ║ System V Release 4.2 /etc/security/* database ║ ║ Ultrix 4 /etc/auth[.dir|.pag] * ║ ║ UNICOS /etc/udb * ║ ║ ║ ║ (This TEXT is for informational purposes only) ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Crystaline Death ║ ║ Subject : "Me... a Narq?" ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ We all know about the groups that release cool warez and all that ║ ║ good shit. But did you know there are like a lot of groups popping up ║ ║ all over the fucking place? I am not saying that this isn't good or ║ ║ anything, but why? It seems that most of the groups that start out (and ║ ║ survive) merge. And after a while, the merged group merges with another ║ ║ group. Eventually, that group merges with a group like DOD or ║ ║ something. It always ends up with big groups and on the way there, ║ ║ during merging, people have to be cut! I was in groups such as Imperial ║ ║ and Siva, where one day, they would merge, and then the next day, it ║ ║ would have been like the whole thing never happened. ║ ║ ║ ║ Being a mere coder, I just can't keep up with the 0 hour shit, but I ║ ║ try as hard as I can. Anyways, I was afraid I was going to be cut (I ║ ║ don't know why, Zorlac is a cool dude.). But anyways, when Imperial ║ ║ merged, they didn't cut many people. However, a few days before they ║ ║ merged, 2 people came up to me (Trite and MGD) and informed me that ║ ║ Imperial was most likely going to merge and everyone in Imperial would ║ ║ get screwed except Trite, Zorlac and the suppliers of Imperial. This ║ ║ got me a bit worried, so I asked everyone that would possibly get cut to ║ ║ write a text file with their information in it. (email address, handle, ║ ║ and position in Imperial), so I left it at that. ║ ║ ║ ║ The next day, I come into #Imperial to say my daily greets to people ║ ║ I know. In a matter of seconds, Zorlac started to curse me off because ║ ║ I had been accused of trying to steal Imperial members into joining ║ ║ Siva. I was then kicked and banned. My response was "What the hell is ║ ║ going on?" So I chatted around to find out what happened. Apparently, ║ ║ someone was out to get me bad. I was informed by Hybernate that someone ║ ║ using my handle went into #Imperial and told everyone to join Siva and ║ ║ to fuck Imperial. I personally didn't know at the time who it was, but ║ ║ I could only think that Trite or MGD might have done it. When I told ║ ║ Zorlac (after he calmed down thanks to Forseer) that Trite and MGD told ║ ║ me about the merge, he went to Trite and asked him about this. Trite ║ ║ told zorlac that he didn't say shit to me (he was lying). So, the only ║ ║ logical thing was that Trite was the one trying to fuck me over. ║ ║ ║ ║ Eventually, with the help of personality witnesses (I am usually a ║ ║ joker, or quite senile) they got me back into Imperial, but it was ║ ║ really Forseer who bailed me out. He told me that he got me out of hot ║ ║ water with Zorlac and that I would be considered innocent until they ║ ║ checked out the bot logs. A few days later, the whole thing blew down. ║ ║ No one accused me of anything, for which I am quite pleased. ║ ║ ║ ║ Personal Greets Go Out To : ║ ║ ║ ║ Forseer : Dude, thanks a lot for bailing me out! If it wasn't for you, ║ ║ who knows what would have happened. If you need anything at ║ ║ all, you know where to find me, #Imperial, #Siva, #FDM, and ║ ║ #RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ Zorlac : Yeah, I was pissed at you for the shortest of times Zorlac, ║ ║ but I knew I could convince you that I didn't do it. Thanks a ║ ║ lot for listening and always being there. Zorlac, you are one ║ ║ of the few Presidents I know that care. ║ ║ ║ ║ Hectic : Thanks a lot for the t3 Netcom shell and for hooking me up ║ ║ with the warez! ║ ║ ║ ║ X-Factor, Infinite, and Hybernate : Thanks for sticking up for me and ║ ║ being personality witnesses.

As you stare at the piece of ║ ║ plastic software nestled in your system, you ask, "Why did I have to pay ║ ║ $60 for this? At this price, am I getting a fair shake here? After ║ ║ all, older games sell for as low as $10, but aren't much different from ║ ║ the $60 games." ║ ║ ║ ║ These concerns are shared by many, especially in today's era of CD ║ ║ games that don't differ materially from music CDs but cost four times as ║ ║ much. What are people paying for when they decide to shell out their ║ ║ dough for games? An exact answer remains elusive, as every game takes ║ ║ shape under different development and marketing budgets. Plus, ║ ║ companies try to keep such data out of public realm for business ║ ║ reasons. ║ ║ ║ ║ After talking to a few PC Game developers (I keep in touch with a ║ ║ few local programmers, industry officials, and market analysts), I've ║ ║ pieced together a general picture of what gamers pay to play, as shown ║ ║ on the charts at the bottom of the article. ║ ║ ║ ║ In theory, only two things matter to gamers : someone to program the ║ ║ game and the parts needed to build it. On average, only $7 to $10 of a ║ ║ game's worth goes toward the actual programming and debugging. Add to ║ ║ that the cost to "build" one game - about $5 for a CD - and the sum ║ ║ comprises merely $12-$15 of a game's price tag. ║ ║ ║ ║ So why pay more? In reality, the pricing breakdown for a specific ║ ║ game has more variables than any algebra test. Some factors weigh more ║ ║ heavily than others. Between 10 and 15 percent of your cash goes back ║ ║ to the company that created the operating system which your game will be ║ ║ running on. Think of it as a "tax" that publishers must pay for the ║ ║ right to sell games which require DOS, Win95, OS/2, etc. That "tax" is ║ ║ directly tacked onto the cost of the game. However, individual ║ ║ publishers almost always craft deals to reduce these fees. ║ ║ ║ ║ Does the game have ties to a hit movie, or sports license from both ║ ║ the players and the league or is sanctioned by a superstar? If so, ║ ║ it'll jack up the cost of a game. According to my sources, the costs of ║ ║ acquiring such rights can account for up to 20 percent or more of a ║ ║ game's price tag. There's one fee of 15 percent for a player's license ║ ║ and another separate fee for a league license. In all sports except the ║ ║ NBA, the licenses have to be negotiated separately. In most cases, ║ ║ costs range from $3-5 for movie ties and $8-10 for one sports license ║ ║ and double that for baseball and football titles. ║ ║ ║ ║ Remember the TV ad that prompted you to get that fighting game? ║ ║ Well, you helped pay for the ad when you bought the game. Also, roughly ║ ║ 20 percent of a game's price comes from retail markup. However, none of ║ ║ this really matters since anyone reading this probably pirates a large ║ ║ percent of the games they play. Again, according to my sources, ║ ║ game companies also have to account for what they COULD have made if ║ ║ PC games were not so widely pirated. What does that mean? Well, ║ ║ companies jack up the prices of their products by up to 20 percent in ║ ║ order to account for their losses caused by pirates. So the next time ║ ║ you're downloading a game, whether it's off of a BBS or a FTP site, ║ ║ remember, somebody's paying for your piracy... ║ ║ ║ ║ This rivalry could very well have a lot to do with Intel FINALLY ║ ║ making dramatic price cuts on the Pentium prices. Naturally, they ║ ║ screwed us as long as they could, but now that Cyrix has begun MASS ║ ║ production of their TESTED (unlike Intel) CPUs, Intel has good reason to ║ ║ worry that the millions of LAMERS might notice the severe price ║ ║ difference of products. The Cyrix 6x86-100 Mhz CPU cost $450/ea in ║ ║ stocks of 1,000, while the rival Intel Pentium 133 Mhz CPU is a much ║ ║ higher $520/ea in stocks of 1,000. ║ ║ ║ ║ Cyrix has pushed their efforts to create a superior CPU ahead of the ║ ║ Pentium age. I believe they have succeeded. It's time that people rely ║ ║ more on their own research when they purchase products such as CPUs and ║ ║ other computer related products. It's important to know how your ║ ║ computer functions, but more important to know it functions at its ║ ║ highest capabilities for your hard earned dollar. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │ ║ ║ │ Developer ║ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ $15 ║ │ ║ ║ │ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │ ║ ║ │ Piracy ║ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ $12 ║ │ ║ ║ │ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │ ║ ║ │ Publisher ║ ██████████████████████████████████████████ $21 ║ │ ║ ║ │ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │ ║ ║ │ Retailer ║ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ $12 ║ │ ║ ║ │ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ A $60 CD : Where the Money Goes' ║ ║ ║ ║ [$15] Developer : $5 developer profit ║ ║ ║ ║ $2 computers/operating costs ║ ║ ║ ║ $8 programmer salaries/royalties ║ ║ ║ ║ [$12] Piracy : $8 compensation to companies ║ ║ ║ ║ $4 prevention costs ║ ║ ║ ║ [$21] Publisher : $2 publisher profit per game ║ ║ ║ ║ $4 advertising and promotions ║ ║ ║ ║ $2 packaging and instruction booklet ║ ║ ║ ║ $3 operating system licensing fee ║ ║ ║ ║ $5 other licensing fees (if the game has ║ ║ movie or sports league ties such as the ║ ║ NBA, NFL, or NHL) ║ ║ ║ ║ $5 to manufacture CD ║ ║ ║ ║ [$12] Retailer : $12 general store markup ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄█▄▄▄▐██▀▌ ■▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▀▄▀▀█▄ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ r c n ▀██▄█▌ ░█▄▀█ ▀▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ ▀ █▄▌█▀▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▌█ ▐███▀ █▄█▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░▄ ▐▐▌▐▀ ░░▐▐█▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█▐░█▌ █▌▀ ░░░▐▐█▌█▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█▌░░ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ ░ ░░░░ ░░ ▄░▀▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌█▐▌▐█▀ █▌▐██ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌▌ ▄▄▄ ▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▐█▌█▌ ▐████▌▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀▄▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▀░▀▀ ▀ r e v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : Group Reviews : Games ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the five best games release groups in the ║ ║ scene. Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will ║ ║ be! It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but ║ ║ you will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The game was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Games Reviewed : 04/18/96 -> 04/24/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : -- Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : -- Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ _____ /\._____ |\_. _ ____ /\___.__.___ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ \.__.\/ | _ \| | /.\\__ \/ _:__: | / Release Score : 0 ║ ║ | | \__. | : |/ | \| \ / | |\ / Running Total : 0 ║ ║ | : \ | | \ | _ \ \/ | |/ : \ ║ ║ |_____/ : :__|\__| |__/__||__|__/ |__RD ║ ║ +-------\___/------\___|-╗Presents½-\__|----+ ║ ║ ║ ║ +-------------------------------------------+ ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : SSD96-01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-23-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Super Star Dust '96 Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ (c) GameTek - [1/5] Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ___ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ ______ / /_______________________ ║ ║ /___ // / \___ \____ \______ \ ║ ║ \_/ _ \__ / _ __// _ __/ \/ / /\ ║ ║ / / / / / / \ / / \/ / / / / ║ ║ /__/ /____/_____//__/ /__/_____/ / ║ ║ \_/__/\____\\____\\_/__/\__\_____\/ ║ ║ -----\__\/-------------\__\/(-hoson-)----- ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Filename : NPMVC-1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-18-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ /\.

║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the five best utils release groups in the ║ ║ scene. Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will ║ ║ be! It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but ║ ║ you will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

Utils ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the five best utils release groups in the ║ ║ scene. Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will ║ ║ be! It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but ║ ║ you will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 04/25/96 -> 05/01/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODLWP01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-28-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ LAN WORKPLACE 5.1 DOS/WIN [01/15] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 28-apr-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTY-ATS1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-28-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ AutoSketch r2.1 for Windows 3.1/Win95 Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/05]\_____\_______>[04/28/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYDDR01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-29-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Digital Dressing Room Pre-Beta 1.00 [1/3] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 6 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/03]\_____\_______>[04/29/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYFIRES.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-30-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ FIRESOFT Q&A: OFFICER!

Utils ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the five best utils release groups in the ║ ║ scene. Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will ║ ║ be! It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but ║ ║ you will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will ║ ║ be! It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but ║ ║ you will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 05/09/96 -> 05/15/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODWMEE1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-11-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Watermark Enterprise Edition v2.1 [1/7] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 11-May-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODCORE1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-13-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ COSESSION REMOTE v7.0 (c) INSYNC [o1/o3] Previous Total : 3 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 7 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 13-May-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODQFPL1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-13-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ QUICKEN FINANCIAL PLANNER v2.0 FOR WIN [1/5] Previous Total : 7 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 12 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 13-May-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DOD3MAX1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-15-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ 3D STUDIO MAX FINAL RELEASE [1/9] Previous Total : 12 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 17 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 15-MAY-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODCWP01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-16-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ COREL WORDPERFECT OFFICE SUITE 95 [01/29] Previous Total : 17 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 22 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 15-May-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYTWK01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-11-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ ToonWorks (c) MicroForum [01/14] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ___________________________ _____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ | _/ \ _ \____/ \ \ / \___ ___/ / Running Total : 3 ║ ║ / \ \ \ /_/\_ ` \ /_/ \_/ \_/ __ ║ ║ \_|_|_/\___/_|__/__/_|__/___/___/\___/\____ ║ ║ Released: [05-11-96] Mortality 96!

This is going to be YOUR column that is ║ ║ a cross between Dear Abby and Dave Berry. The most important part of ║ ║ this is YOUR participation. If you have ever had a question about the ║ ║ scene or just a comment, here's the place! Have you ever wanted to know ║ ║ why some people do this or that? ASK! I would love to take it to the ║ ║ extreme for you and we will be happy to research it! I hope you have as ║ ║ much fun with this as I will! Remember, this is YOUR column! ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Topic For Next Week : The Internet and the BBS scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ The Internet was introduced to us just a few years ago. In reality, ║ ║ it is a relatively new resource for us all. Yet it has managed to take ║ ║ the scene by surprise and is now an indepensible resource that we could ║ ║ not manage without. Previous to the Internet, BBSs were the only method ║ ║ of warez transport. Couriers had to work hard to get a release from ║ ║ one board to all the rest, a feat that is rather amazing to me today ║ ║ when I look back. However, with the advent of the Internet, a file can ║ ║ make it around the world in under 5 minutes! Most files reach the top ║ ║ boards within 6 hours of their release! Still, though, BBSs do have ║ ║ clear advantages over the Internet. Some of these advantages are a ║ ║ searchable file base, easier access restriction, and most of all, a ║ ║ public message base, one that, on the Internet, could only be controlled ║ ║ through a fast listserv. Why haven't all these T1 FTP sites converted ║ ║ to telnet nodes for a PCBoard setup? What do you think the Internet has ║ ║ done to the BBS scene? What do you think the BBS scene will be like in ║ ║ a year or two? What do you think the Internet will be like then? How ║ ║ do you feel about this technological revolution? ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Please E-Mail all responses to [email protected]. ║
