The only time I even got a notice from my ISP about pirating shit is if I downloaded anything made by Disney or Nintendo.
I miss that,
These days they just shoot you on the spot
Swatting became a verb in the 90s.
Swatting wasn’t really a thing until the 2000s. The term wasn’t even really coined until nearly the end of the 2000s. The FBI was using it in like 2008 or so.
See Wikipedia or this FBI archive article https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2008/february/swatting020408
There weren’t many ways to make anonymous phone calls in the 90s, you had to find 10¢ and go into town to find a pay phone.
He threatened me with his crt
It’s why I switched to LSD.
LCD?
I always forget 😶🌫️
“he raised his hands, presumably to grab a gun from the ceiling, i had no choice but to fire five warning shots in his head and emptying the rest of the clip in his dog that was tied outside in the yard”
“Fucking bitch”
Don’t forget that he owes his entire life earnings to a corporation for downloading 180 songs.
Most heinous crime. Almost as bad as downloading a car
You wouldn’t!!
I did. In fact, I’ve downloaded more cars for Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA IV than I’ve been inside of IRL.
Username almost checks out
I’m a big bearded Scandinavian (born in Denmark and lived here all my life) with far left political views and a love for tie dye, so I’d say it fits quite well 😁
I’m even growing out my beard to go for a viking braid like this 😁
Goddamn…I wish my beard came in that magnificently… seriously didn’t have “emasculated by the picture of a glorious beard” on my 2026 bingo card…
I hope your beard goals come true, don’t let beard dreams stay dreams my friend!
I just meant you paid for the cars, rather than just take them, because you can. As a Viking.
Lol I’m dumb don’t worry.
Sweet beard though. I gave one of my employees an award at my Christmas party for having the best beard. The only beard actually.

Nice! Was she pleased?
i so would. downloading new car, while the uploader keeps theirs? that’s a fucking no-brainer.
We would certainly be buying cheaper cars if the car industry wasn’t helping keep the cars away from the same place they get their car parts.
Yooo, can communism get ME that swole too?
Well, you’ll certainly get plenty of exercise and won’t have to stop yourself from binge eating in the gulag!
Is this real?
Real in the sense that it was made at the height of the napster crisis. It wasn’t put out by the RIAA though.
😨
I’m sorry! I’m sorry!! I didn’t know!!! 😭😭
i just realised how communist crypto farms are. youre telling me hundred PCs share their resources to reach a greater goal?
Actually, they’re all working for the profit of someone else who had the capital to afford the tools they need and extracts labour from them without giving them anything beyond the most basic necessities.
That’s capitalism.
🤯
Still remember downloading nirvana_smells_like_teen_spirit.mp3 for the first time. It may have taken 25 minutes on Napster, but nothing has ever sounded so good played out of my aux speakers in Winamp.
Narrator: “what sounded so good was horse porn”
2pac.mp3.exe
Wait, why does the song not start playing when I double-click it?
You have to run the song as an administrator.
Its soo good its needs full read write acess to your drive.
Its for uh surround sound 👌👌👌
Then they discovered it was much easier to do that in people’s phones and that they got way more information from it they could sell.
Nah in the 90s you were always running as administrator unless on a school computer or using Linux or something…
I installed Linux back then too. First thing I did was delete my user, home folder, and just rawdog the whole thing as root.
I may have slightly misunderstood the operating system. Later that week I saw that a new Linux kernel had come out, and did a uname -r and decided that the best thing I could do was manually compile the damn thing for my computer so I could “get the update”.
I am pretty sure I managed to even boot all the way to the terminal, but being unable to run startx. Good times.
go into powershell and type sudo [song name]. sudo is the music player
Does
sudorun things as administrator now on Windows?Yes. They added it a few months ago i believe.
Su su sudo
Finally makes sense!
Oh, that one was good. 😙
“Malware distributor too, eh?”
In the 00’s, its the same except he’s playing CoD.
Napster actually was mostly in the 00’s. Napster came out in the summer of 1999 and the lawsuits over it started in 2000 and it was shut down in 2002.
Today the corporate AI downloads all of the songs, artwork, movies, text, etc. on the internet and the police will just shoot you in the face for no reason.
Oh and they DDOS your little private webpage too.
I wish death upon Alibaba Group. Half the shitty AI scrapers are theirs.
They started investigating him as soon as he started downloading that MP3. Did some reconnaissance around the house, got some surveillance intel, consulted a judge and a few expert witnesses, then commenced the on-site op and apprehended him when it was about 90% complete. (That’s about how long it took to download MP3s in the 90s.)
At what point did they shoot the dog?
Kristi Noem wasn’t working with the government back then.
ACAB. They’ll all kill your dog, She just somehow took pride(?) in doing so.
Noem is unique in that she killed her own dog instead of someone else’s, and then bragged that it spoke to her leadership skills.
And spent 10,000% more on salaries for all of those people than was “lost” by the music industry.
JUSTICE HAS NO PRICE!!!
'90s? This came out in June 1st of 99 so I guess for 6 months it was the 90s. Napster was mainly the early 2000s. Before really LimeWire and stuff came around.
now this happens when you post wild shit on social

Got’em. Wie peinlich.

That’s the spirit!

I might kill a constable, shit in his hat, and then send that hat to his widow, though.
As long as you don’t buy illegal video copies, you and I are golden 👍
They always protect the owner class, never the people.
Metallica seen by people through the decades :
80s : Oh wow, it’s a fun thrash band with a cool bassist
90s : Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on you sellout piece of shit
00s : Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on you sellout piece of shit also you’re fucking clowns 🤡🤡🤡🤡
10s : Oh wow, they’re still going
20s : Oh wow, they’re still going(NB : My opinion is still the 00s opinion because I’m a millenial)
Don’t download this song.
Even Lars Ulrich knows it’s wrong…
“NAPSTER BAD!”
FIRE BUUUUUURN
These days, making a U-turn could be your last.
Don’t exaggera…
Never mind. My bad.
Heil Trumpler! 🫶🙏✝️🫣
