The first copyparty ever
I was wondering about this during X2006, but who knows this:

Quote: It wasn't a BCS-Copyparty, it was a Plutonium Crackers Copyparty. Look at:
Plutonium Party 1984
PC-Copyparty was an early event. But I don't think that it was the first one. There have been several other parties, small local ones and some bigger ones of the 'real' old school ones.
Anyway, I would like to get more specific information about the PC-Copyparty (Attendants etc.) - So Alien, Don, CJW, CPU get ya asses up and reactivate your brains...
Greetz!

Oh I reckon it was you who told me about the BCS-copyparty, but I guess I mixed it up. |

I agree with Frantic and Zyron, it isn't easy to establish a set of terms. What's a copy-party and what's not...
I wrote a PAiN mag report for our first copy-party in 1984:

And I wrote about a not scene related meet in 1981!:
"Wau Holland, who sadly passed away in 2001, already organized a meeting of computer freaks in Berlin as early as 1981"
We visited many small 3-8 people home-meets starting in 1982 and copied disks, but didn't use to call them copy parties.
The 1984 meet was very special to us.
It wasn't held at home for the first time and it was the first time foreign sceners visited Berlin.
All these PC, CFB, BCS, Antitrax labels have been created for the cops and apply to the same 4-5 people.

****** First party held in Sweden that was organized like todays parties was the Furulund meeting organized by S.O.S/Defiers . The second was just two months after and it was the first Alvesta party by The Silents. I was there and had a blast. :-)
This is not true.. there were copy parties long before that party.
Actually is was in Furulund, at Scoutgården :-)
Think it was 1-2 year before party above.
Party organisers were Reagan Cracking Service, and I know they did release a demo with a picture of Ronald Reagan. And when you reset the computer there were a quite cool effect.
Find the demo, and we know what date and year :-)
I missed the first one, but were a lucky guy who attended the next one. could it be 86?
Here is the demo think..

assuming Harlequin means C64 copy party?
cba: I think I hear those Courbouis guys who organized venlo, houten, nijmegen and eindhoven started with another platform. Not sure what it was though.. However, imho, those were more meetings than parties.
