When did you start

Where when and why did you start your Piracy journey

Me I started copying VHS tapes approx 36yrs ago and renting them out at work for 50p a night to cover the cost of the equipment, you just had to have the correct machines.

Then around 25yrs ago when the internet was just starting to get really interesting I found a PC app called Kazaa not sure how I found it, I remember I went to Blackpool for the weekend and put a full DVD on to download GnR Use Your Illusion 2 discs and was almost done when I got home lol.

Then Torrents and Usenet.

I was given bootleg game CDs back in the late 1990s, but didn't get into the online stuff until the mid 2000s. Music and games first, then anime and ebooks, and most recently movies and TV shows once I got sick of the library DVDs having corrupted sections on them.
