    Before itunes really caught on and ages before something like spotify would rise up, millenials cut their teeth on kazaa, limewire and a host of other p2p services trying to get digital copies of our music and movies. Is this really just a low quality pirate rip or is a virus laden exe? ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!

        Don’t kid yourself, it’s always the decapitation. Or the Korean scream webcomic. But you’re gonna try anyway

          The one time it was a Pam Anderson nude was when I tried to download the music video of Linkin Park - Papercut, turned out to be the intro credits to Barb Wire on loop

      I remember when Napster would let you browse the music folder of ANY computer running Napster. I have so much music still I downloaded from our universities intranet back in 1998 that way.

      It was like if you were on a corporate network and everyone shared their music on the server shared folder. Was mind blowing even on 10base-T.

      Nothing has come close to repeating g that aside from hoarding music on my own computer.

      The early days of Napster were actually good. Things started to suck by the time it got to Limewire or Gnutella, with “hotphotoofgirl.jpg.exe” and whatever. BitTorrent improved the situation.
