Razor 1911
Encyclopedia
Razor 1911 is a warez
and demo
group.
in October 1985 as a Commodore 64
software cracking
group. Shortly after, they changed from 2992 to 1911 which translates to 777
in
hexadecimal
.
Between 1987 and 1988 the group began to move away from the Commodore 64 and migrated to a new hardware platform, coding demos and cracking games for the Amiga
. In the very early 1990s Razor 1911 made another transition, this time to the IBM PC
, foremost as a cracking group, but still continuing to release cracktro loaders
, demos and music.
Razor was a supply group on diskette
from 1992 until diskettes were abandoned for CD-ROM
s. Throughout the 1990s Razor faced competition from many different groups, ranging from groups such as Tristar & Red Sector inc.
(TRSi), Pirates with Attitude
(PWA), The Dream Team (TDT) and Fairlight
(FLT) in 1994 to Prestige, Hybrid (HBD), and others in 1995. Razor was revitalised by new members gained from another group, Nexus, who brought with them some UK suppliers and the leaders The Speed Racer (TSR), Hot Tuna and The Gecko. Razor had a handful of others throughout the 1990s, such as Zodact, The Renegade Chemist (TRC), The WiTcH KiNG, Butcher, SwiTch, Marauder, and Randall Flagg.
In 1995 diskette releases were rapidly being supplanted by CD-ROMs, and Razor 1911 moved into the CD-ripping scene. The crew that led Razor into this new chapter included members such as TSR, Pharaoh, Fatal Error, Third Son, Hot Tuna, Beowulf, Pitbull, Bunter, Manhunter, Vitas, and The Punisher.
Razor once again took on a new challenge when the ISO
scene was formed. Razor 1911 began to release ISOs when they became the standard of the day, led most significantly by The Punisher. He was instrumental in Razor's recovery and its solid performance in the ISO scene. Following The Punisher's retirement, Razor was led by various different people and underwent some internal problems in the form of leadership challenges. This was solved when Pitbull, an old Razor member from the 1990s, took over the leadership role. The FBI claimed him to still be the leader of Razor at the time when "Operation Buccaneer
", an international anti-piracy operation which led to raids at the homes of over 60 piracy suspects worldwide in 2001, was carried out even though NFOs and scene activity at the time points out The Renegade Chemist as actual leader of the group.
, led by the United States Customs Service.
Immediately after the raid, Razor 1911 ceased activity for a short period of time. They released Atari Revival: Warlords 3D on May 1st, 2002, 6 months after the bust and continued to release games on a regular basis until June 22nd, 2004. Razor's response to Operation Buccaneer shows that the busts only affected people alleged to be active members of the group by the FBI. In reality those who were busted had been ex-members for several years. Unlike most groups, Razor 1911 was not directly affected by Operation Fastlink
in 2004, as Razor were still releasing games on a regular basis during the following months.
Shane Pitman is no longer involved with the group and has a prominent role on the Neowin.net
forums, most notably as part of their moderating and news posting team.

He was sentenced February 10, 2004 to 50 months in prison and three years of supervised release, for violating the criminal copyright laws, and for defrauding Cisco Systems of hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware. Mr. Breen was also ordered to pay restitution of $690,236.91 to Cisco Systems. Mr. Breen's 50-month sentence is the longest imposed to date of the more than 40 individuals worldwide targeted by Operation Buccaneer. In a separate investigation by agents from the United States Secret Service, Mr. Breen also admitted that he had illegally used an online customer account of Cisco Systems to order hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware by falsely posing as one of Cisco's existing customers. Mr. Breen arranged to have the hardware delivered in separate shipments via Federal Express to "Comptel Logistics," a shell companyShell (corporation)A shell corporation is a company which serves as a vehicle for business transactions without itself having any significant assets or operations.
