Ive been an avowed pirate since i learned how to because i was so mad at Microsoft for selling windows ME. that OS was so bad it drove me to a life of crime lol.

But i still do it the old way, with torrents or streams. Have you kept with the times? Do you use plex or jellyfin or one of the other systems i see the fancy plates use?

ive been running storage devices (nas) since the late 90s... for media server its been MythTV.. then later SageTV (google murdered) then XMBC and now its kodi+jellyfin.

initially it was a lot of ripping physical media... it was awesome when netflix came up with the 'we'll send you 7 disks at a time (and then 5 and then 3), i was returning them within hours of receipt. nowadays i have a seedbox/central torrenting server so the kids can help.

i still have MP3s i downloaded on the OG napster.

Remember Kazaa? That's where I learnt about different codec's and the importance of virus checking files before running them, well until Kazaa++ came out and did it for you.

Well shit, you just unlocked a memory I haven't touched in decades!.. Damn I miss the old p2p days, where you had to earn that mp3 of Destiny's Child Bootylicious with a weird audio artifact mid way through!

Lol 20 years later I still have an album where my favorite track is only 98% complete because my dialup connection dropped when I was downloading it from Kazaa, and I just said eh, good enough.

yes! this is me! a few songs have a glitch that, after 20+ years is absolutely ingrained in my brain.

it would be trivial to replace, but i just dont care enough to do it
