Heeheeheeeee........just email'em. This is the new millinium after all. Hell, I downloaded stuff before the internet. It was called am/fm radio and I used a state-of-the-art device (then) called a cassette deck. 'Course the RIAA folks claimed they'd be bankrupt in a year cuz of it, I wonder what happened??Quote:
Right, ive got everybodys name and i'm gonna phone the authorities
Does xeroxing my ass count? Jeeeeezz, I'm glad to see the cassette and other 'back in the day' stuff. I dont feel so damn old now.
Later taters,
bone
Hell, I just found an original copy of 'Scorched Earth' an old DOS game I 'pirated' on a floppy. To damn bad the disc has crapped out on me........
I've been doing it for about 4 years and so far my collections are not bad. But then i've given more than i'v got. Does that make me a good pirate?lol
ever since i learned that i could get stuff for free ive downloaded lol
at all started with a leet winzip crack... lol.. where were the days... :)
Since i got my Commodore 64. That was for a long time in
the mid 80īs:rolleyes:
Since i got the thenet , 5 years
From the beginning.
Copy games off of floppy discs....
Started by copying software on floppies and cd's with my windows 95.
Too long:)

I voted 3-4 years since I got the internet but thinking back I can remeber coppying games on floppies from my school computer lab in year 5 to play at home so that's like 17 years...:)
^much the same as sear. i voted 6 months as i only got the internet in recently :(
but i have been copying games since i got an amstrad cpc 464 (green screen) for christmas like 15 years ago or something...
remember when copy protection only involved keying in phrases from the game manuals :P ?
i'm very new too all of this and it's cool to hear a lot of the older pirates stories.
I'd have to say 10 or so years, though at the time it was probably just the OS. They had those 8" floppies when I was in Elementary School. That was my first intro to computers. I didn't start getting my own stuff via the internet until I had to reinstall my OS and didn't have the programs I had before. When someone told me to look for a serial or crack or something I took the plunge. That was probably going back 4-5 years ago.
I haven't looked back since. :)
Ever sense software started to come on floppies.
hmm about a year or two, i should say. ^_^
about 2,5 years
8 years or something =p
About 2 years+ to me. The day we got our cable internet :D
Now that is something I have not thought about in a long time but made me laugh very hard!!! :DQuote:

Sharing with friends probably 6 years, before that 386, c64 and sometime before internet i've had fun times with pirates :D. Nowdays everybody that buys a empty cd/dvd and burns a pay game on it is a pirate, just nobody sells this anymore, u get caught too fast and we went online..arrrrrrrr
Over 8 years, started back in 1998 - lol
5 years :D
