I literally just had this song stuck in my head like ten minutes ago. This is fucking freaky. Do I have a brain chip that no one told me about?

Yes
Fuck!
So much for this golden future...
Excuse me, but it is "breaking the law". Rob Halford is a proper Englishman who does not say "breakin'".
Oh yeah, I remember when we upgraded from dial up and the speeds were so fast I could download a new song while listening to another. Non-stop music!
Streaming but extra steps but freeeeeee
I paid for the internet, the 486, the power, and the apartment. I had to download napster and use it. that took time which could be exchanged for money.
Oddly enough it was the same federal minimum wage during Napster time as is it is now.
How was that "free" ? Free certainly had high price requirements.
You ran Napster on a 486? I was on a Pentium 200MMX in that era.
If you had pentium money you could have been at Sam Goody buying the damn CDs! Your punishment in hell will be tenfold.
Nah, 486s were old by the time Napster was out.... The first Pentium IIIs were coming out then I think
Napster and the PIII released in 1999
Fuck ‘em, and their law
What we're dealing with here is a total lack of respect for the law
ugh this one time i was visiting a friend in nyc. maybe like 2010. she takes me to this party and i see this guy there wearing a limewire shirt. so i go up and ask him bro do you work for limewire? he says "naw man but i used to" and my mind is blown so i ask him what it was like and he thinks for a sec and then he says "it was wild man" and i didn't even know what to say after that.
The nineties were wild.
The '90s were a lot of fun too. As I stare down the barrel of my 60th birthday next month, and watch the U.S. collapse and the world unravel, I can't help but be nostalgic about the mid-90s through about 2015, which in my opinion was peak America.
That was basically my childhood and it was pretty cool. I got to grow up with a lot of the crazy cool tech before it was [fully] inshitified. I was poor, so i didnt really own it, but experiencing things like the progression from gamecube to, the wii, xbox kinect, and then oculus vr and google daydream was incredibly cool.
I'm 31 but I agree
Imagining the progression of the US as a chart, the post-2015 era would not be so much a slope, rathee a cliff. It's absurd how rapid thing have declined.
On a positive note - good luck on your 60th, hope you have a grand one.
Thank you so much! I'm having a bit of a renaissance. After exiting an unhappy marriage and spending several years recovering my mental and physical health, I'm in the best physical shape of my life and am having a lot of fun. While the state of world affairs is depressing, I'm moving forward with my plan to exit the U.S. and move to New Zealand for a fresh start.
Arrr matey, the law means nothing in the high seas of the these internets nowadays. Curse ye land lubbers and yer subscriptions.
Wtf. Two Beavis and Butthead memes back to back in my feed posted by two different users to two different communities. What kind of glitch in the matrix fuckery is going on here?
I must be old. I don't think it was even illegal yet when I used it
It wasn’t though, not until Lars.
That was a civil case. Copyright infringement absolutely was illegal before that.
Nevertheless, fuck Lars.
Yeah I mean obviously
Now most just downlode off youtube, lol. I like collecting CDs but many artists don't do them anymore.
I do both. i buy cds at shows when i can. I also scour used and new music stores for stuff. Then for albums i really love, i get them on vinyl. I get most of my music from bandcamp though and if an artist only has stuff available on streaming or its from a mega producer, i will rip it off youtube
Same 💯🎶🎧
If we were discussing this on a different instance I could give you better options.
Lol, 🤫
Damn. Sometimes i wish for a utopia tomorrow. Cause i dont wanna work on what i dont wanna work on.
Is this that chainsaw man fellow I keep hearing the kids talk about?
You might be thinking of Scarface.
