Major Scene MP3 Pre-Release Group Busted By Police

While much attention is currently focused on illicit file-sharing carried out by the UK public and the closing down of sites such as OiNK , TV Links and AradiTracker , the groups at the top of the so-called ‘piracy pyramid’ receive relatively little attention. These groups are the source of much of the music on file-sharing networks, particularly when it comes to pre-release material – sometimes identifiable by ‘Advance’ or ‘Promo’ tags in the release name. Now, according to information leaked to TorrentFreak, one of the most prolific music release groups around has suffered a significant setback after police quietly started arresting members during the last month.
