It was part of the conspiracy that defendants were leaders, members, and associates of the software piracy group known as 'RISCISO.' 'RISC' was an acronym for Rise in Superior Couriering, while 'ISO' referred to a file format commonly used for the storage and transfer of pirated software. RISCISO was an underground organization, founded in approximately 1993, dedicated to the illegal distribution of large volumes of copyrighted software, games, and movies over the Internet, particularly recently released items, for the use and benefit of members and affiliates of RISCISO, and of persons to whom RISCISO members and affiliates further distributed those items.
