piracy and towards <a href="../C/compo.html"><i class="glossterm">compo</i></a>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 &#8212; 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.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="demon-dialer.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../D.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="demoscene.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">demon dialer </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> demoscene</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
