I quietly downloaded DMX albums at ~2KB/s, concealing it deep within a series of multiple folders from my parents. I still love DMX.

It was incredible to access any song you wanted from anyone else. It was crowdsourced and social before those were things. It also turned out to be illegal by the RIAA and shut down. Music has never been the same though.

@joshelman This was the subject of my Freshman paper at Stanford in 2001. Pretty embarrassing to go back and read this, but here it is anyhow "Napster: Champion of Free Exchange, Threat to Industry Conglomerates http://bootheprize.stanford.edu/...

Napster was my favorite product back in the day. I used to download all the new songs and burn CD's that I would sell at school voor $10, artwork on the cover everything
