The first BBSes were located in the United States, but similar boards started appearing in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and mainland Europe.
Their work was made available on privately run bulletin board systems (BBSes). The warez scene started emerging in the 1970s, used by predecessors of software cracking and reverse engineering groups. First appearing around the time of BBSes, The Scene is composed primarily of people dealing with and distributing media content for which special skills and advanced software are required. Groups are in constant competition to get releases up as fast as possible. The groups must follow these rules when uploading material and, if the release has a technical error or breaks a rule, other groups may " nuke" (flag as bad content) the release. These rulesets include a rigid set of requirements that warez groups (shortened as "grps") must follow in releasing and managing material. The groups themselves create a ruleset for each Scene category (for example, MP3 or TV) that then becomes the active rules for encoding material. The Scene has no central leadership, location, or other organizational conventions. However, as files were commonly leaked outside the community and their popularity grew, some individuals from The Scene began leaking files and uploading them to filehosts, torrents and ed2k. The Scene is meant to be hidden from the public, only being shared with those within the community. The Scene distributes all forms of digital media, including computer games, movies, TV shows, music, and pornography. The Warez scene, often referred to as The Scene, is a worldwide, underground, organized network of pirate groups specializing in obtaining and illegally releasing digital media for free before their official sale date.
