I didn't really listen to them but have always associated them with being fragile babies. In the early file sharing era, other bands were like, "I dropped an entire album as a free download, fuck the system." Meanwhile Metallica was whining and sobbing about college kids on Napster stealing their pennies.

System of a Down literally named an album "Steal This Album" and made the CD art look like a burnt CD with sharpie label.

It's one of the few albums I later purchased. Never would have gotten that into soad without piracy, other than their singles that most people from that era would know.
