Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.

Are we counting like Ares and Limewire? I just wanted to listen to music and could never pay it. That turned into software I wanted but couldn't buy. Then I stopped for a while and started up again years ago not wanting to pay for streaming

Ares! I can't find an English wikipedia article about it 😮 Just found out it was written in delphi and opensource.

Those were the days... DC++, Ares, Limewire, Napster, Emule, Bearshare... so many things just to download the latest Linkin Park. Only for it to end up being porn 😅

I never really asked why everything was porn. But like... why?

Cause people like porn. I'll be honest, when I downloaded some music video or something that ended up being porn, I usually wasn't too disappointed, with the exception that I now had to go find what I was originally looking for again and wait for it to download. Shit used to take forever back in the day.
