FairLight (FLT) is a warez and demo group initially involved in the Commodore demoscene, and in cracking to illegally release games for free, since 1987. In addition to the C64, FairLight has also migrated towards the Amiga, Super NES and later the PC. FairLight was founded during the Easter holiday in 1987 by Strider and Black Shadow, both ex-members of West Coast Crackers (WCC). This "West Coast" was the west coast of Sweden, so FairLight was initially a Swedish group, which later became internationalized. The name was taken from the Fairlight CMI synthesizer which Strider saw Jean-Michel Jarre use on some of his records.

  • FairLight (FLT) és un grup de warez i demos inicialment implicat en la plataforma Commodore, i dins d'aquesta plataforma aconseguint il·legalment jocs que alliberava de franc des del 1987. A més del C64, FairLight també ha emigrat cap a Amiga, Super NES i més tard el PC. El grup va ser fundat durant les vacances de Pasqua de 1987 per Strider i Black Shadow, ambdós exmembres de West Coast Crackers (WCC). West Coast Crackers (WCC) era la costa de l'oest de Suècia, així que FairLight era inicialment un grup suec, el qual més tard esdevenia internacional. El nom va ser agafat del sintetitzador Fairlight CMI que Strider va veure usar a Jean-Michel Jarre en alguns enregistraments. (ca)

  • Fairlight (Kürzel FLT) ist eine Warez- und Cracker-Gruppe, die seit dem Frühjahr 1987 aktiv ist und die Ursprünge auf dem Commodore 64 hatte. Hervorgegangen ist diese Gruppe aus einer anderen C64 Gruppe namens „“ (WCC). Mit "West Coast" war dabei die Westküste von Schweden gemeint. Somit war Fairlight ursprünglich eine rein schwedische Gruppe und entwickelte sich später zu einer internationalen Organisation. Hauptsächlich hat die Gruppe mit dem Knacken von C64-Spielen und dem Tausch diverser geknackter Spiele begonnen. Seit Anfang der Gruppierung wurden auch legale Demos auf dem C64 und dem Amiga von Fairlight erstellt. Anfang 2000 entstand die „offizielle“, legale Demosection von FLT für den PC. (de)
  • Fairlight, en abrégé FLT, est un groupe de démo et de warez en activité depuis 1987 ayant fait ses débuts sur Commodore 64. Depuis 1995, le groupe s'était scindé en deux branches distinctes, la première légale (avec la démo) et la seconde restant dans le Warez, illégale. L'Opération menée par la police dans 27 pays différents en avril 2004 pensait avoir définitivement mis fin à la branche Warez du groupe le plus mythique de toute la scène, mais celui-ci a réapparu peu de temps après.

Den 21 april 2004 greps flera högt uppsatta medlemmar ur gruppen i en operation ledd av FBI, kallad . Enligt ett rykte skedde razzian precis innan Fairlight skulle släppa storspelet Hitman: Contracts. Fairlights ISO-del var dock tillbaka på demoscenen i oktober 2006. Fairlight har även scendivisioner som arbetar med demoer på plattformarna C64 och pc. Denna verksamhet är inte kriminell. (sv)
