[{demoscene}] Aboveground descendant of the {copyparty}, with
emphasis shifted away from software piracy and towards {compo}s.
Smaller demoparties, for 100 persons or less, are held quite often,
sometimes even once a month, and usually last for one to two days. On
the other end of the scale, huge demo parties are held once a year
(and four of these have grown very large and occur annually --
Assembly in Finland, The Party in Denmark, The Gathering in Norway,
and NAID somewhere in north America). These parties usually last for
three to five days, have room for 3000-5000 people, and have a party
network with connection to the internet.
