Releasegroup
Terminology | Dictionary | Explanation
A releasegroup is a group of people who pirate and release movies, programs, games and music. Releasegroups often have a pre retail source, which allow them to release warez before it hits the stores. The size of a group varies, some groups have just 5 people, others maybe 20. Usually, the members of the group don't know eachother in real life. Trust is very important. Since the group's activities aren't legal, the teammembers have to be able to rely on eachother. If one member gets caught, the other ones are in big trouble too, so security has high priority. This means that for example they talk on private irc servers or through a bouncer, and they connect to their sites through proxy's.
