minus-squareLovstuhagenMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoThis isn’t wrong - I was there using Napster, and I was one of the lucky ones with a Mac so my computer was immune to most viruses. What was the other one that was really good… its symbol was a satellite… Found it: Audiogalaxy. And, for the longest time, it was also Limewire… lol… But yeah, I still did buy CDs because I also felt like it was a lot more common to not be able to find stuff you wanted… Or, the funniest thing ever: downloading “Sex Pistols” but it’s just a Billy Idol song. IDK why that would happen but it did.
