Since the 80s, C64 at first, Amiga later on.
hmm, on and off for 10 years, but I only REALLY got excited a few years ago because up till then I'd just gotten cracked versions of Winzip and virus-infested warez, etc., and didn't think there was much out there beyond that so I just mainly used freeware/shareware and reinstalled after 30 days thinking that the quality stuff had to be paid out the ass for and there was no way around it....then one day I managed to download Photoshop and just thought, this is $700 software and I've got the FULL version...FREE!!!:w00t: Then things REALLY went downhill:D
I think about 3 years, i started with kazaa
Started File Sharing Since I Yr
Around 2-3 years only. I only download that softwere I need,
5 years at least...in the old days it was borrowing friends CDs hehe
started in '99, first thing i downloaded was cracked games on public websites
i think the first software i pirated was prince of persia, back in ~1990. i still remember vividly doing the first level about a 1000 time, cause after the level you had to drink the cup of water with the letter in the manual's page x, line y or something like that. of course later i got the properly cracked vesion.
Ever since i got my first PC, so about 13 years ago now!
all my life started with the amiga
2 yrs saves on loads a dosh wen ya got kids wanting stuff all the time
I "borrowed" the first games when i had an oldschool 80386 PC.
This is ... errrm... a few "weeks" ago. :-)
i started when napster was born
ive been using pirated softs so i can remmber me :P
omg i forgot about them days copying speccy games on my double tape deck :lol:Quote:

I'm shocked at all of you! I ONLY use filesharing for legal purposes and only DL backups of what I already own. :)
since 1998 :)
on of the first games I got from a friend was the old Wolfenstein back in ´92 I think,incredible graphic... :)
my first comp was sinse 1997 - never buy nothing exept harware :)
I think my first attemp was 4 years ago......
Starting with downloading from free space offers (damn..what was the name again?) from this one popular site, I changed to Yahoo! free space (damn...forgot all the exact names).
But after they cut down bandwidh, got into p2p ;)
Must have been about six years from now. One year break due to WoW :D
about 7 years
Ever since I found out you could download stuff for free on the internet and it worked. Which is about 4 and a half years ago. When I found out I was so shocked and excited:O :D
Oh boy... +5 years, since the FTP exists tbh :lol:
since I needed photoshop a few years ago.
since about 12 yrs ago. found out at school ;)
about 4+ years ago, first one was kaaza then dvd shrink, how sweet it was.
nice
about 2 yrs ago. I also needed photoshop.
Man I remember being introduced to Photoshop while at college in the late 90's thinking, "God I would love to have this program on my home computer, but it's so expensive." Thanks to bt, I do.
Thanks p2p!
-real testimonial
Yeah Photoshop 7 is one the biggest dls I made quite a while back that I can remember. So 4-5 years I say?
About 29 years ago, my mother taught me how to file my nails. Occasionally she would share her file with me. I'd have to say that's my earliest memory of file sharing. Back in the seventies is was all about the sharing, free love, free files, it was good times.
