The Scene is a term used to refer to a collection of pirate networks that obtain and copy new movies, music, and games, usually before they are even released, and illegally distribute them throughout the Internet (and previously through BBSes). The kinds of people involved in The Scene are extremely organized in their behavior and are very paranoid about their secrecy. They maintain a "hidden network" of top-level FTP sites (" topsites") that get the highest quality files first and allow them to fall down the elaborate pyramid of distribution. Users uploading files to these sites are called couriers and usually obtain "credits" in a certain ratio (mostly 1:3), in this case allowing them to download three times as much as they upload. Releases containing problems are "nuked". When a release is nuked the user/group responsible for putting the files on the site loses credits. Releases may also be "propered" if the previous release of the same type was nuked or just inferior in some way. A proper release fixes the problems of previous one and may improve other aspects as well. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Scene"
