The Scene was a miniseries created by Jun Group Entertainment. This first-of-its-kind film was targeted to peer-to-peer (P2P) users, both in distribution, subject and style.
The series were financed through sponsorship deals and released for free on the web and on P2P networks under a Creative Commons license (attribution, no derivative works). Mitchell Reichgut, director of the series, says in an e-mail newsletter:
Another question that keeps coming up in our IRC channel and in forums around the web, is our rumored connection to SONY. As it happens, one of our producers has a day job there (which was probably the genesis of all the conspiracy theories) but that's as far as it goes. We pay for "The Scene" ourselves and the idea that the show is some kind of anti-piracy propaganda is truly silly.

Season 1 [link]
The story centers on Drosan (Brian Sandro), a member of a fictitious scene group called CPX. Drosan is forced by circumstances to sell the pre-release films to commercial pirates in Asia.
Each episode is filmed as a combination of a webcam video showing one of the actors superimposed on their desktop, showing e-mail, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and instant messaging conversations. Most of the action takes place on the computer screen.

Season 2 [link]
The Scene continued for the second season of the series with a misleading name. Instead of focusing on warez culture, the second season took a look at illicit weapons trade happening online, as the director of the series saw the storyline of the season 1 to be complete. The production pace of the series had changed from one monthly episode to much shorter weekly episodes.

Parody [link]
Close to the initial release of "The Scene," a spin-off parody called "Teh Scene" was released on the Internet. It imitated the format of the original series and overtly criticised it for its possible connections with anti-piracy groups (and Sony sponsorship in general), mocking its amateurish approach to depicting software pirates using the exaggerated mannerisms of script kiddies. "Teh Scene" featured a dynamic format (as opposed to "The Scene's" static presentation of a computer monitor, on which a small video and a few instant messaging windows would appear). See also "'Teh Scene' Releases Final Episode".
The parody also released its first episode for season 2 on November 1, 2006. From what is seen in the first episode of season 2, they are not going to have the same storyline or concept as seen in the "The Scene" season 2.

Entourage is an American comedy-drama television series created for HBO by Doug Ellin, who also serves as an executive producer along with Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Dennis Biggs, Rob Weiss and Ally Musika.

The Scene
by: Frank BlackYour wine it tastes so sweet
But it's no affaire d'amour
I can hear the ghosts of 14th St.
As they are running out the door
Can't you see you have no connections
It's plain to see you have no connections
You're oblivious to me
As you climb out the top of some truck limousine
Still filming your scene
You're talking way too loud
But there's nothing to exchange
You prefer to dine with your own crowd
Out there grazing on the range
Oh can't you see you have no connections
It's plain to see you have no connections
No connections
It's plain to see you have no connections
You're oblivious to me
Now you're talking in the dark through my favorite scene
