So I just always find it funny some pirates around some communities, get such an egotistical stroking of themselves when they make bold claims as to not having screwed up. They did, just don't want to mention it.

To be fair, it was pretty easy to not screw up with early piracy. Just don't download or run any executables and you were pretty much safe. Back in the day, you didn't even need a VPN. I've screwed up far more recently than I did back then.

My favorite screw up was the time my mom got a C&D for me pirating the movie "Law Abiding Citizen". Awful movie but if I still had that letter I would frame it.
