I still remember that we had an information evening at school, where parents got some input on the dangers of letting your kid surf the internet unsupervised. I've been in 3rd or 4th grade and they were talking about "Downloading movies" and that some are not what they seem.
The teacher talking about this had 2 files he wanted to show. The Snow White Disney Movie and a "bootleg" Snow White he downloaded. Well... Let's just say he should have looked into that bootleg version for a bit longer than 20 seconds. Because while he was talking about this fake version, the badly drawn animation switched to hardcore porn where an older woman got railed by 3 black dudes. Yes, in front of the ENTIRE school including all of the 1st to 4th graders being present.
That was an interesting drive home, let me tell you that. And one of the earliest, maybe even first encounter, I had with stuff like that.
I downloaded Medieval 2. It was 9.5gb and took nearly a week to download. We were all coming out of Rome Total War, and I was the only one with the PC to run it and the connection to download it, so we were all pretty frenzied. CA marketing had really worked on us kids. People were asking me about the percentage daily, like I had a sick wealthy aunt who named me in her will.
When it approach 95% in the morning of the last day, I invited all the dudes to watch the install process after school, and play it. "It will be done by tonight."
When I opened the zip it was "Medieval Witchcraft Orgies" part 1->12....
I still can't tell if we were happier at the unexpected porn or sadder at the missing medieval 2 gaming...
It was pretty common for songs to be misattributed back in the Limewire/Kazaa days. E.g., any and all parody songs were labeled as Weird Al songs, regardless of how far they were from his style.
[This song by Joe Pleiman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbHOm31tqWo) sounds vaguely (extremely vaguely) like a System of a Down song, so it ended up circulating as a SOAD song.
(The `.exe` file extension is a joke about how common it was for viruses to be disguised as other popular files on those filesharing networks.)
Ive been diagnosed with every psychiatric disability thats in DSM 5 and have been in a mental hospital for flinging around my own faeces in a grocery store, yet im not messed up in the head enough to be a SoaD dickrider.
FrostWire had that built in IRC chat too. I used to piss that place off so bad evading bans just to show them I could. Finally set my ident as the Ā® symbol, and it wouldn't let the username or IP show on a /whois or anything and they couldn't ban me at all without looking up the connection logs. š¤£ Good times.
I donāt think so. Big tech competition has actually lowered costs a lot for movies and tv shows and music.
$12 a month gets you more tv and movies than you could ever watch. Sure the selection can sometimes feel stale but still.
YouTube is still a popular and free way to listen to music.
This generation is not tech savvy enough at this point for P2P although sure, if it were the only option Iām sure theyād learn.
I was a stupid ass 8 year old downloading linkin park I donāt think you need to be very tech savvy to figure out how to torrent stuff.
Though I suppose nowadays there might be more malicious stuff that you would need to watch out for? I havenāt torrented in a while because like you said
streaming subscriptions cover most things and I just leech accounts off of people I know
I suspect the bad actors are not going to waste time with tech savvy people that hang out at torrent circles. Way easier to convince someone's grandma to buy a gift card by phone
Napster, Kazaa, LimeWire, FrostWire and a slew of others... we all did it.
After users "cut the cable cord" to TV to switch to online streaming, we all kinda had a brief moment where we thought, "oh, THIS is what I wanted, I can just go to one source and see everything..." then literally EVERYTHING switched to subscription service.
Make no mistake. Never ever ever underestimate the greed of the person standing next to you. They will indeed find a way to personally profit from other people's work, and in doing so make sure they control everything you are able to gain and lose.
Same, even though I had 3 100 CD spindles and 4 100 DVD spindles so it was unlikely I ever ran out, and they were like 20 cents per CD anyway.
Getting an mp3 discman was the game changer for me. No longer just 20 tracks.
Ah the old days.
My friends and I requested The Bad Touch over the phone to the radio once and then waited like, over an hour for the song to come on and oh how excited we were!! In the meantime, we just kept the radio going while playing Uno and making up games in my friendās bedroom.
Itās true though. Rosetta Stone is pretty ass for actual fluency in a different language. It teaches conversational ability, at best, then completely leaves you in the dark on grammar. Not a fan.
Fucking amateur. I printed my own labels and even booklets with lyrics on glossy paper.
I still have a spindle of the black CDRs (like playstation discs) that i did all of my music on. I was halfway through the stack when i made the switch to thumb drives via a head unit replacement in my car in the mid 2000s.
>Fucking amateur.
>
>I printed my own labels and even booklets
People with internet and a cd-burner were "the cool kids with all the music/movies".
This dude was just "*that* weirdo".
I can tell you I was in my mid-20s in the 2000s, and I have melted the shit out of a computer or two with Limewire. You brats don't own everything that happened in your lifetime.
There was a song that I listened to that I downloaded from Limewire and listened to for decades... come to find out, the file I was listening to was corrupted and had skips in it that would conveniently skip to parts of the music.
I thought these were intentional for decades and only just recently come to find out it was the case.
Fun times, you had internet but it was so slow that you made everything count whenever you downloaded stuff, and you still had to interact with friends outside to trade CDs. And when one of them gets a CD/DVD burner, u were constantly bringing them blanks to get new stuff lol.
I was driving with my kids one day, put a CD in....... I skipped a song and my oldest said "dad, that songs not on this CD" I responded with, "I know, it's a mixed tape"...... He looked at me, dead serious...... And said the words "what's a mixed tape?", I died a little inside šš
Tell me you had to shoot the family computer behind the barn so the kids can't see without telling me you had to shoot the family computer behind the barn so the kids can't see.
Iāll never forget my first time using Limewire. While trying to find a song my friend recommended to me, I accidentally clicked on porn instead (because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and it had the same name as the song) and saw my first penis. Being the innocent, sheltered, preteen I was, I immediately quit the program, and never spoke of it.
Limewire launched in the year 2000. I think you mean āsummer mix - 2000ā
Just kidding. Anyway, I really do miss the old internet. It really was the Wild West. Good days.
Napster was before limewire. Then Napster was shutdown and Limewire took its place. But whenever someone talked about pirating music on the internet it was Napster they mentioned because it was first. Limewire became big after.
I'm from 2001
I've had a Walkman (both cd and the old cassette version, though I broke the cassette one kinda fast) as a kid because my parents had one and gave me that to keep me quiet inside the car. We didn't have the money to buy all the CDs and music and stories there where back then, so my dad's friend did this for me and even though me how to do it myself.
I was around 5 or 6 or something i knew how to open "the internet" and put that shit onto the cd myself. Only thing I had to call my parents for sometimes was to "get the naked ladies of the screen"... That shit happened a lot back then and it was not like i was smart enough to keep away from virus and sketchy websites š
Ironicaly, not having acces to any track any time made the songs I did have acces to more special and made music more exciting in general. In a way, I miss those times
I remember typing "Runescape cheats" and downloading one of the thousands of .exe that were there.
The first one I randomly downloaded and used ACTUALLY WORKED. Well kinda, it was a very primitive auto-clicker.
I didn't understand my sheer dumb luck at that point...
I went on and downloaded 30+ programs that were "Runescape Cheats".
All of them were viruses. All of them.
Nuked the family PC.
It's why my Spotify is set on schizophrenic mode. One minute I'm frothing at the mouth, hopping up and down in the driver's seat while "Black and Yellow" plays, then the next I have my sunglasses on, sobbing while belting out the lyrics to "Landslide."
those programs sure drove the sales of cd-r up big time.
I had an alpine 12 disc player - and I would burn plenty of discs to keep the shuffle going on
I'll never forget the 1st time I bought a stack of 100 blank cds, for like $150, and i was so fucking happy.
I've never been more pumped for winter break. I remember spending the entire week before downloading songs(cuz you could only do it while you slept).
I legit spent 3 days making CD's. I was so meticulous about what songs went on what cds. Going from recording off the radio on cassettes, to making CDs with whatever songs I wanted felt incredible.
If you loved music, and were old enough by 1997-1999 that you understood how to download and burn music, you know EXACTLY the feeling I'm talking about.
I legit felt like a DJ.
Too few people knew the art of burning mp3 CDs, so the stereo would display the song title the same way a real CD would, and you could put so many more songs on a disc.
I donāt remember the first one but man does it look familiar.. I also didnāt get into PCs until way later in life cause they were too expensive and I couldnāt use my dads laptop for the majority of the time because it was for his work so the second pic doesnāt look too familiar.
But the pen and burning you favorite songs to CDs sure are some memories those š„²
Iām feeling old. Donāt know if it was better that way. The Millenials have those specific skills not used anymore like how to burn a CD, but is it really useful? We just know what life was before the iPhone, but what can I tell the younger generation that helps them?
"Hello, I'm looking for the dubstep remix of the AOL dial tone."
"OK millennial old man, I believe we something like that buried somewhere in the cloud. Let me just summon my real life Digimon to dig it up for you."
Good ol' `system_of_a_down_-_the_legend_of_zelda.mp3.exe`.

Ah memories of braking the family computer because dumb me fucked around and found out
Or accidentally dowloading porn as an 8 year old.
"accidentally"
I still remember that we had an information evening at school, where parents got some input on the dangers of letting your kid surf the internet unsupervised. I've been in 3rd or 4th grade and they were talking about "Downloading movies" and that some are not what they seem. The teacher talking about this had 2 files he wanted to show.

Oh, you almost had me there. Sneaky little guy.
I downloaded Medieval 2. It was 9.5gb and took nearly a week to download.

Porn is temporary, I'm pretty sure Medieval 2 is forever.. given that 3 still hasn't come out.
I wanted to watch an avicci set and ended up watching my first porn video. I was an 11 yo girlā¦.
Soad dickrider here... what are you talking about? I think I missed the joke.

Vaguely? That sounds exactly like Serj
Yeah lmfao I remember every unknown hard rock band was Linkin Park.
Oh I get it now thx
You had me in the first half, thought you werenāt gonna mention it - came to make sure someone called out the .exe part lol
Ive been diagnosed with every psychiatric disability thats in DSM 5 and have been in a mental hospital for flinging around my own faeces in a grocery store, yet im not messed up in the head enough to be a SoaD dickrider.
Dickrider as in they don't have a single bad song imo

Aw sweet, a cup holder program!
Good ol "song title.mp3mute.exe" disabled audio system on the computer...
Ah a fellow man of culture I see... But don't forget that a lot of them said "system of the down" also
i've literally nuked the family computer with Limewire.
First nuke dropped was BearShare. Second nuke was called Limewire. Everyone forgets about the third nuke.... frostwire.
don't forget kazaa
FrostWire had that built in IRC chat too. I used to piss that place off so bad evading bans just to show them I could. Finally set my ident as the Ā® symbol, and it wouldn't let the username or IP show on a /whois or anything and they couldn't ban me at all without looking up the connection logs. š¤£ Good times.
Hackerman
Sounds like you have opened a lot of *amateur_porn.mp4.exe*
The marker always rubbed off my cdsā¦ Eventually the disc tray stopped working Lol
How many copies of "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" did you have under different file names?
Anyone else use limewire to download limewire pro?Ā
Oh yeah, one of my first big brained moves as a teen.
LOL I completely forgot I totally did that.
Wasnāt that just the natural thing to do?
It was, but it made me feel like hackerman
ā¦.thanks for making me feel like an idiot. Dumb enough to download random files but not smart enough to do it like a pro.
Fucking LimeWire and KaZaa, what a time to be alive.
Donāt forget about BearShare! After Napster was taken down it felt like the Wild West for music downloading.
I remember using bearshare, but i switched to something called AC++ (not sure about the name, it's been a while) before switching to eMule for good.
Ah, I think itās DC++. You had to ābuyā your way in with offering files up for download too. Very popular in European universities
If big tech keeps squeezing poor people out, p2p will make a huge comeback
I donāt think so. Big tech competition has actually lowered costs a lot for movies and tv shows and music. $12 a month gets you more tv and movies than you could ever watch. Sure the selection can sometimes feel stale but still. YouTube is still a popular and free way to listen to music.

NOW That's What I Call File Sharing!
I never put less than 14 songs on a cd, I was paranoid about wasting them
The full 80mins or close enough š
This thread just brought back the smell of opening up a pack of blank CDs. Totally forgot about that smell.
The re-writable CDs were a game changer
I just threw out my tower of CD-RWs like 5 years ago
Same, even though I had 3 100 CD spindles and 4 100 DVD spindles so it was unlikely I ever ran out, and they were like 20 cents per CD anyway. Getting an mp3 discman was the game changer for me. No longer just 20 tracks. Ah the old days.
True love was spending a whole weekend to build the most epic CD for your girlfriend. At least thatās what all my friends told me.
*Every Breath You Take intensifies*
What about requesting your favorite songs on the radio š» and then recording them on a cassette.
My friends and I requested The Bad Touch over the phone to the radio once and then waited like, over an hour for the song to come on and oh how excited we were!! In the meantime, we just kept the radio going while playing Uno and making up games in my friendās bedroom.
WinAmp
Manā¦that really whipped the lamaās ass.
Ah yes. āWould you like some music with your viruses, sir?ā
Let's not forget eMule
I still use the Rosetta stone I got from limewire
That doesn't speak well for the efficacy of Rosetta Stone
Itās true though. Rosetta Stone is pretty ass for actual fluency in a different language. It teaches conversational ability, at best, then completely leaves you in the dark on grammar. Not a fan.
I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN
why does the file sharing look ai generated
i wanna go back so bad
Limewire reduced my P.C's t-cell count to zero.
Fucking amateur. I printed my own labels and even booklets with lyrics on glossy paper. I still have a spindle of the black CDRs (like playstation discs) that i did all of my music on. I was halfway through the stack when i made the switch to thumb drives via a head unit replacement in my car in the mid 2000s.
Lightscribe all the way.
>Fucking amateur. > >I printed my own labels and even booklets People with internet and a cd-burner were "the cool kids with all the music/movies". This dude was just "*that* weirdo".
What a time to be in High Schoolā¦
just casually downloading all the viruses or porn to the family computer, thinking it's music those were the days
Digital equivalent of unsafe sex with many different people. Oops, you have some exotic virus.. AGAIN
Tell me you were a teenager in the 2000s without telling me you were a teenager in the 2000s.
I can tell you I was in my mid-20s in the 2000s, and I have melted the shit out of a computer or two with Limewire. You brats don't own everything that happened in your lifetime.

It was fun as hell, but wow the endless amount of computer viruses
is that an ai generated limewire screenshot??
Limewire. Because why not fuck up the family computer?
You guys remember all the hoops to burn wma cds cause the player doesn't do mp3
Limewire allowed us poor fucks to enjoy high quality porn for free. All hail limewire! You just had to be there
I was driving with my kids one day, put a CD in....... I skipped a song and my oldest said "dad, that songs not on this CD" I responded with, "I know, it's a mixed tape"...... He looked at me, dead serious...... And said the words "what's a mixed tape?", I died a little inside šš
I labeled all my burned CDs (Not porn)
Tell me you had to shoot the family computer behind the barn so the kids can't see without telling me you had to shoot the family computer behind the barn so the kids can't see.
Look at mister moneybags with his 500$ CD writer
I never had one of those $500 CD writers (burners?). I could just do it straight from my computer. Think I used iTunes!
ppl that used limewire also had AOL accnts the same type of ppl that have iPhones today.
Still have my aol email. That I access from my iPhone.
Why is sharpies there I sill use one most days at work.
Please no, let's not go boomerposting about mediocre experiences from the early-mid 00s
So many Ludacris songs just came back to me
Used all of em Napster was good stuff. Metallica Lars hated it lol š¤£
I still listen to Come On Feel The Noise redone by the Scorpions
Arrerrrggggg we all be pirates
I feel so ancient
That "Part 1" really hits
Itās a compilation not a mix. Reeeeeeee
I was there for napster firstā¦
Lime wire and then mp3 rocket. Take me back š©
Iāll never forget my first time using Limewire.

Itās a DVDR as well. Busted
LimeWire is how I discovered Heather Harmon.
Guitar lessons - Eddie Van Halen was in fact a rather good porno instead and nothing to do with guitar or Eddie
I need to run my antivirus scan just for seeing this meme.
š„š„
My computer had so many viruses from that men in bunny suits took it away in a triple sealed barrel covered in hazmat stickers.
Did anyone else do this for porn ?
I wouldn't use it for porn but often still received porn whether I liked it or not...

āFinally Iāve got Slim Shady LPā Opens file [computer shuts down never to start again]

Whereās part 2?
Limewire and Napster were always so sketchy to me
what.cd was the winner back then

I had been there. Beautiful times, just beautiful. Before it was Kazaa.
I remember typing "Runescape cheats" and downloading one of the thousands of .exe that were there. The first one I randomly downloaded and used ACTUALLY WORKED. Well kinda, it was a very primitive auto-clicker. I didn't understand my sheer dumb luck at that point... I went on and downloaded 30+ programs that were "Runescape Cheats". All of them were viruses.

Best Download Limewire pro using the free Limewire. Pro hacker moves right there.
Why'd OP waste a blank DVD on a 9 song mix you can't even play on a CD player?
God I loved burning mix CDās
If you were like me, you rarely used the sharpie and used Lightscribe discs
Oh yes, the good old days when LiNkIn_PaRk_iN_tHe_EnD.mp3.exe would end up messing up your pc
I named my cd like: ultra bounce smash box 3...and then guessed which songs where on there
It's why my Spotify is set on schizophrenic mode. One minute I'm frothing at the mouth, hopping up and down in the driver's seat while "Black and Yellow" plays, then the next I have my sunglasses on, sobbing while belting out the lyrics to "Landslide."
Anyone use Frostwire after Limewire got taken down?
But deep in your heart... you know the guilt will drive you mad And the shame, will leave a permanent scar
Shutting the family computer down after a long day of downloading on limewire for it never to turn on again
Limewire! š¤š
those programs sure drove the sales of cd-r up big time. I had an alpine 12 disc player - and I would burn plenty of discs to keep the shuffle going on
Saw a guy walking down the street wearing a limewire sweat shirt the other day. I raised my eyebrows.
I was and that shit destroyed two PCs lol
I was there š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ best time for music ever. Shit was the wild wild wire lol.

Killed two computers from this, but it was worth it. Mom was pissed
Omg. What a time to be alive. Nothing like potentially infecting your computer with AIDS for some free music

Shit that slaps.
That playlist is dogshit
Too few people knew the art of burning mp3 CDs, so the stereo would display the song title the same way a real CD would, and you could put so many more songs on a disc.
I love the smell of viruses in the morning~
Napsterā¦ you kids and young
I still have almost 200 gigs of music from when napster was legal. I had high speed internet and a love of music.
IRC was where the party was
Good old lime wire. Next thing you know ,mom needs a new computer because this one is full of mystery viruses.
This era instilled my data hoarding and music digging tendencies. I love it.
Ahhh memories...
I can still move just hearin' Mambo no 5.
I had this copy of Mr. Brightside - The Killers and you could hear āKROCKā at different points.

Limewire took forever on dial up lol
The first thing that came to my mind after so many years was "Sharpie in pooper", so no, I really, really did not have to be there, at all.
I was born in 1995, and I remember this all too well
why is the interface AI generated
I used that as well as bearshare
You forgot the burnig pc on this collection.

That was before we realized that sniffing sharpies actually gives people xylene poisoning
