    Yeah, learning windows 3.1, a pirated version given to me by my grandpa, I used to sit there watching him make pirate copies of games using this slow AF floppy disk copying software.

        When I was a child, I was the one pirating stuff for my parents.

        I would pirate music and movies, and then we’d listen to/watch them during our long vacation trips. We had a small cd/dvd reader with a very, very small built-in screen, and we’d watch the movies on that thing.

        I also used to pirate all kinds of stuff for me and my brother. Videogames, animes, movies, you name it. Nowadays I’ve legally bought most of the stuff I pirated when I was a child (everything that can still be bought legally; I won’t give money to greedy second hand sellers).

        I thought technology was becoming common knowledge, yet I was surprised to see how many friends and people of my age still don’t know how to open a .zip file or play a console game on an emulator.
