Now,  for  the   Aussie   scene...#
Phantasie  are DEAD, if you didn't#
already  know...  most of the cool#
members joined ACU! TFS are nearly#
dead   (give  them  about  1  more#
month).  Mystix have just discove-#
red AT&T's (Thanx to me!) and more#
groups  are  getting into modeming#
(but they are paying for the calls#
at 2400bps!)  The Hellraisers have#
written a cool util!  The Force...#
I'm  not  sure what they are doing#
(maybe Antriax could inform me?!?)#
ACU  are  the only group releasing#
and  training  stuff!  We are also#
working on a  new  MegaDemo!  Last#
things  we  released were: It Came#
from  the  Desert  II!   (We  need#
original suppliers!!)             #
Now  the  Police  (Federal Police)#
are just starting to get involved.#
Many more people are converting to#
ANTI-PIRACY and many magazines are#
begining  to  write  articles   on#
PIRACY.. here is just a snippet of#
an  article  on  Piracy   in   the#
Australian   Commodore   &   Amiga#
review...                         #
Smart  as they may be - the police#
have  also  noted  the  names  and#
postal addresses of groups located#
in  Australia.  What  will  be the#
result  of furthur investigations?#
Bands  like   Quartex,   DMA   and#
Australian   Crackers  United  may#
have  to  take  a  much lower pro-#
file...                           #
What  do  ya  think?   Are  people#
going to  become  aware  or  what!#
One guy in Sydney has already been#
busted for  selling  games...  but#
there  is nothing much they can do#
until  stricter  laws are going to#
be enforced!                      #
Some  more  ACU  news...  Some ACU#
members  are  going underground as#
they  are  being  traced  by  AT&T#
(maybe  even  the Federal Police)!#
Now  one  more  thing...   Lamers;#
there are many Lamers in OZ!!  All#
they can do is buy the  games  and#
then  they  sell  the  games!!  (I#
suggest  all  ELITE dudes keep the#
games  between  themselves only so#
Lamers have to go  and  buy  games#
and the s/ware industry  will  not#
die very fast!!! Think about it???#
