The iSONEWS was a warez news website originally created by orm who later deferred management of the website to krazy8 and mandarin.[2] TheiSONews supplied release details and NFOs of warez games and programs, without actually supplying them, or supplying any information on where to find them.[3][4][5] Later it was also called a fan site that has become an unofficial hub of DivX news.[6]
