Although not proud of it, I have to admit that I loved pirating things back in the day...
The feeling of getting something incredible in good quality before release was special around 99 2006, its part of the culture to me.
Would have NEVER NEVER been able to listen to so many artists, would have never really discovered how dope the artform itself is without piracy.
Understand that is considered stealing but I think it also had a contribution to sales because once you heard how dope something was you went and bought just because you wanted to have it with liner notes and everything.
