Scene Groups don't care about normal leechers. They only share the releases between themselves.

I am not too deep into the scene, but i could imagine that this is not neccessarily desired since every signed release could be linked to them from a forensic and juristic perspective. (in the case they are arrested)
Lets give more evidence that this came from me LOL.
I think it's unwise to do something illegal (morality of it are debatable) and create a paper trail of it. One loose end, and your ass is now connected to every single releases that you've ever done.
Not sure. Maybe I'll do it with my releases, I dunno. I don't exactly release any high profile stuff though, and I typically just avoid torrents because I'm afraid of getting a scary letter from my ISP. Perhaps that's unwise though.
There's no need for scene groups to sign their releases. If they notice a fake, they simply nuke the release and siteops purge whoever pred it.
