I used limewire first because I wanted to hear full albums free and at this time YouTube didn’t have full new music

Nah I don’t feel bad. I had a good collection of albums being the youngest in the fam so most my music was ripped. But I found a lot of new artists and s*** on limewire. Artists I loved I would always get the album for the higher quality rip. Still remember waking up early to go get Graduation before school so Ye would beat out 50. Rushed home to see what the numbers were and the GOAT won.

Moving up to Torrents changed the game though. My demonoid account 14 years old now, but I ain’t been on there in years because they kept shutting down. Getting my oink account felt like the biggest achievement back in the day. I miss Oink, that was the s***.

Did Sony feel bad when they packaged spyware with legitimately purchased music back in the day?

Digital 'property' rights are a joke. I'll cop vinyl if the s*** is poppin, but I ain't paying for no got damn MP3 file.
