First thing you ever pirated

[Cyan]

I think .. if I remember well, that my first pirated stuff was "Deluxe paint III" from Amiga, 20 years ago.

Before Amiga, I had game&watch and NES, but pirating wasn't spread, I didn't even thought it could be possible to copy a cartridge

I knew there was pirated "100 games compiled cartridges" for NES, which I played one once, but didn't pirated it myself.
At the same time, Friends had tape disk console/computers, which could be duplicated (haaa, what good memory, soo many errors on magnetic tapes, and so long to load !).

An audio cassette in 1980something.

First software copied from a remote source (BBS) was Deluxe Paint on the Amiga.

Ahh, you got Deluxe paint too

Oh, I forgot about music. I certainly pirated vinyl disk to audio cassette, and audio cassette duplicate looong time before informatics and gaming.

You can't reach it from the bed. The effort almost kills you.

Damn, we need to move first XD
games in the 80s were harder than today's !

Wow, I can hardly remember... I honestly didn't pirate till maybe 4 years ago... I think I picked up some N64 and GBA roms cuz I was into the PC emulating scene for a bit when I found out it was possible. My first pirated PC game had to have been Portal. I don't pirate for the PC much.

Um.......LEGO Island, way back in 2001 xD Legend game..............sigh

 

[Maz7006]

if i recall well it was PSX games

followed by some Pc games

and then Genesis games (would emulate them)

and its sort of gotten out of hand ever since, i do pretty much pirate everything ( i can't remember the last time i bought PC software) the only things i buy these days is the odd PC game every now and then or a PS3 game.

It was probably taping a song from the radio.

All my Nintendo games.

This is what all true pirates strive for.

Age of Empires II for the PC. There was a special way of installing it to make it work (opening the EULA then a black screen will appear, suddenly starting the game - is the last method that I only remember) otherwise it will keep on getting errors. Unfortunately, that special way can't be found on the Internet so the disc became unusable. I still have the disc though...

I don't remember exactly, but it was a song.

I bought a game called Pokemon Jade for the GBC some years back. I actually thought it was a legit Pokemon game that was just never released in America

 

[Ritsuki]

I think it was some Genesis roms. In fact, I didn't know what a rom was. I just took some of them in one of my friends' computer without knowing what was an emulator or a rom...

It was by UVERworld... I just can't remember the name .__.

UVERworld is a pretty cool band outside of their anime OPs

Back when I was little, my brother would copy cassette tapes for me. When I was in like 3rd grade a neighbor put a bunch of gameboy roms on my computer. I didnt know what it was then except I could play Links Awakening on the computer. Then in middle school I found out about emulation and started downloading SNES games.

 

[MagicProdukshunZ]

Pretty sure it was Pokemon Fire Red, just so I could play Pokemon Shiny Gold xD

 

[Deleted_171835]

Eh...The first think I pirated was Mario Luigi Super-Star Saga. I downloaded it to play on no$gba. I was 8 years old at the time. I find that funny. I was in Gr. 3 when I first pirated.

It was a direct download, though. I didn't know how to use torrents or Usenet at the time. I knew it was illegal, though but I didn't give a crap.

Piracy can take many forms, and in a country invaded by cheap chinese tat, I suppose I owned many pirate games and consoles. After that I obtained videogames and music from friends. But the first thing I ever actively pirated on my own was a Drakan torrent and it took a whole week at horrendous speed.

i had no money when I saw a cool Cd in HMV (can't remember what it was) so I typed into google "free cd downloads" and I started from there
