I am not too deep into the scene, but i could imagine that this is not neccessarily desired since every signed release could be linked to them from a forensic and juristic perspective. (in the case they are arrested)

I think it's unwise to do something illegal (morality of it are debatable) and create a paper trail of it. One loose end, and your ass is now connected to every single releases that you've ever done.
Lets give more evidence that this came from me LOL.
There's no need for scene groups to sign their releases. If they notice a fake, they simply nuke the release and siteops purge whoever pred it.
Scene Groups don't care about normal leechers. They only share the releases between themselves.
Not sure. Maybe I'll do it with my releases, I dunno. I don't exactly release any high profile stuff though, and I typically just avoid torrents because I'm afraid of getting a scary letter from my ISP. Perhaps that's unwise though.
