Do they have usually contacts in the studios, or in the company that burns the dics?

The release groups get the stuff from lots of sources, studio leaks, also the shops that get the CD some days before being for sale (so it' can be available on the release date), also the CD pass throught lots of hands before hitting the shops, the factories that create the CD etc etc. That guys get some things in exchange, mostly of times access to dups to download what they want forever and for free, sometimes even money from the bigger groups, is like a competition to be the best release group, the best curry group etc.
I have been there, as courier for fun and for trades charts, at RTSMP3. Was really fun to see your nick at the top of the scene magazines, good for your ego, then one day you realize you're just expending your time for nothing, that day you become 10 years older
Are you into it Labret? i still have some friends there since some years ago.
