For a few years there was real money in selling burned movies, music and anime. People weren't internet savvy and didn't have fast connections to download, had no burners in their pc. My brother used to do it. When DBZ hit and they kept going back to the first episode people wanted to watch the next episode they were willing to pay for it.

Yeah that was the key nobody really was internet savvy. The folks I knew wouldn’t go further than MySpace or Facebook back then Now kids can work a smart phone at 2 or 3 years old and music streaming services are cheaper than buying 2 cds a month.

You had irc's/usenet back then, people in the know got their content from there and passed it on the the ones who didn't know better. Barber shops used to make bank selling music and movies.

There are people today still making millions of off hosting torrents.....so yes, some were. Providing Illegal content has always been a lucrative business

you don't have Spotify or Apple Music?

95% of underground street bangers for some genres never hit any streaming service. There's still money to be made trading music using harddrives. Amapiano is a good example.
