The Scene acts as the main resource for: early DVD/BDRiPs, early MP3 releases, TV caps in SD and HD, and cracked 0-day/apps, which then get leaked to P2P. Take away all that and you leave P2P with very little. Sites I know which would survive a Scene-outage are: TheBox.bz, UKNova, What.CD, Waffles.FM. Why? Because these sites have dedicated userbases substantial enough to supply their own content, capped TV and flac/mp3 rips respectively. P2P has only ever led the way in terms of content is in CiNE movie releases [CAM/TS/TC/WP/SCR/R5] which only lasted up until recently, of which, IMAGiNE was probably 90% responsible for, but with them lies the true downfall of p2p -> there's very little emphasis on security. Every other form of content on P2P is stolen from the scene. full stop.
