Like watching an old friend's corpse being defiled for profit

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 47 points 7 months ago

Like watching Napster panhandling under an overpass.

[-] corus_kt@lemmy.world 36 points 7 months ago

Limewire and Napster peaked in high school

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

But at least MySpace Tom was their friend.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Oh come on. That guy would be friends with anyone! He was probably friends with like 600 Adolf Hitlers.

He was friends with Steve from high school and no one wanted to be Steve’s friend. He only posted pictures of the columbine shooters with captions like, “An hero, an marter. I will join u soon brave man.” His profile played like 10 Marilyn Manson songs at the same time. Guess who his friend was?

Tom.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 32 points 7 months ago

Burn me a copy of that sick System of a Down Legend of Zelda song! Link, saddle up your horse!

I'VE COME TO SAVE

THE PRINCESS ZELDA

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Wait does this exist??

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The song is here, but it's not by SoaD. It was often mislabeled on the various filesharing networks as being theirs.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Much like virtually every parody or comedy song ever being attributed to Weird Al back then. He's talked about it before. He especially didn't like it when stuff that was really offensive- racist, sexist, etc. was attributed to him.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Holy shit I had this back then and totally thought it was by SOAD.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Well yes, but actually no.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Well yes, but actually no... it's by Joe Pleiman and someone just uploaded it as SOAD - The Legend Of Zelda.mp3

Here's the song

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 5 points 7 months ago

I love Judas Priest!

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I think soulseek is the biggest one that works like this, but it's entirely dedicated to music.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yep soulseek is awesome, I'm sharing about 500gb of stuff there. There's more then just music there too, you can find movies and TV shows there that aren't on public trackers. Also... fonts

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

I remember I downloaded a jobro album and I double clicked it and it took me to a Japanese porn site

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 40 points 7 months ago

Maybe in the future I really will get season 2 of Firefly from LimeWire

[-] Chickenslippers@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Huh the first episode starts zoomed I'm on a cup.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 27 points 7 months ago

Well, at least you didn’t download a virus.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

Darude_Sandstorm.mp3.exe

More buzzwords than an Indeed job description.

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Bandwidth.

Up-tempo.

Logistics.

Leverage.

Synergy.

Hold the line.

Ideate.

Takeaway.

[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

I loved downloading a song from Limewire and the band was labeled completely wrong. Then 10 years later I get made fun of for saying X band made Y song because I legit thought they made it because of Limewire.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

I love listening to Twisted Sister's Come on Feel The Noise or Bob Marley's Don't Worry Be Happy.

[-] cafeinux@infosec.pub 1 points 6 months ago

When I listen to Friends will be Friends from Queen, in the back of my mind I'm still certain that's from Good Charlotte.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

oh, oh no.

[-] 6mementomori@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

what's line wire supposed to be?

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 48 points 7 months ago

it's the way we used to get our music for free back then

Neat

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

rentry.org/firehawk52 is there to save you

[-] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

What's this?

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

LimeWire was a great way to get music for free back in the days. The Firehawk52 guide is a modern way of getting music for free.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

One of those services is still alive and kicking and perhaps even better than it was during the p2p audio hayday and I'm seeking within my soul for the bravery to tell others what it is.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Lmao

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I haven't had much luck with Soulseek, I prefer downloading from Deezer or Qobuz with the method described in the Firehawk52 guide. And they even let you download FLACs.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I get plenty of FLAC from there. I have issues downloading anything older than a year or two on torrent sites. But YMMV, and I think it depends somewhat on what type of music you listen to.

I too entered the twilight zone when I noticed something in my discord servers. I'm not in many servers, but I had subscribed in an AI image creation server called BlueWillow. So one day the icon was different, resembling a lime.... It took me a while to understand what's happening.
