ScP is doing as good a job or better with today's 24 releases than many of the trackers I'm a member of, some of which are very well established. If ScP keeps up the good work, we have a winner.

I cannot stress this enough.
Exclusive movie/tv show packs are a good way to boost the torrent sites content.
No doubt - If you have something that others do not, it makes you special. You develop a hype, and human nature eggs people on to want to be a part of the bandwagon.
But as mentioned - this is filesharing, and not filehording!
If you are a member of some exclusive tracker, and it really bugs you that someone is taking your content elsewhere, you really need to take a few seconds and come to understand that this is exactly how the legally legitimite copyright holders feel.
Just as legit copyright can't control filesharing, neither can the pirates!
While competition is healthy at times, it can be pretty darn ugly and petty.
My take - The ends just don't justify the means.
Trying to control content is an abuse of power, even if you doing it for what may seem good reasons (ie strengthen your tracker).
It reminds me of Orwell's "Animal Farm".
It all starts off with the animals working together to take over the farm (digital content), and kick out the farmer (legal copyright holders).
"Four legs Good. Two Legs Bad."
But as time progresses, the Pigs start to take on the attributes of the farmer that was chased out, and in time:
"Four legs Good. Two Legs Better."
I just hope no one sends me out to y'old glue factory, as was the fate for old Boxer
^^ That was a really strange comparison to make, but it makes sense :/

I agree that trackers shouldn't horde content, but I think aburyach's point is that ScP was trying to pass off the pack as it's own. That's what makes sense to me anyways. Hell yeah, I'd like access to ScT's packs over at ScP as well, but maybe ScP shouldn't pass it off as its own. Just say that the source was ScT, or don't mention a source at all.
wasnt the s*t pack bigger? didnt it have like 4-5 more dvdr's? indeed it did!
ScP split it up... look at my previous post, you will see Proof and everything
Don't get me wrong, I like ScP and I look forward to their exclusive (hopefully) content. I just think that ScT worked hard (sure, call me a fanboy ) to put out good stuff, and its not fair to just take and claim (this is what irritates me) it as your own.
Hopefully ScP will go well. I don't wish to put it down and flame it.
Well maybe they didn't do it this time, but they have made pretty comments to Nordic-T in their torrent descriptions calling them scum and telling that they (nordic-t) will likely steal this pack as well as other previous packs.The sct admins themselves didn't make as big a complaint as he is doing.

These "packs" that everyone keeps referring to are merely compilations of scene releases. The private torrent sites are not the ones ripping the films. Sure, it's great to have all the content in one nice, convenient location, but I would hardly call it "hard work." The content is just transferred from dumps that have archived releases. As I said though, it is nice to have these "packs," I just wish that the torrent sites would stop acting like they are busting their ass to make them available.
EDIT: Nevermind, it appears as though the above was already mentioned within the last few pages.
It's also amazing how so many users on here through around the words "ftp axx" and have no concept of how releases are distrubuted. It's clear that many of you "grew up" on bittorrent and are very misinformed/ignorant of how many of these sites function. Sorry if that sounds harsh.. just had to get it out.
