This thread just goes to show that Pokemon is a gateway drug to piracy and eventually grand theft auto and so on. If only we could have stopped it in time and saved the childrens...
the first song i ever downloaded was butthole surfers - pepper from irc. mp3 was a very new format for distribution, so maybe around like 1994. we always had windows 3.1 and 3.1.1 on floppy. first game i ever ripped from a cd was chessmaster. we had a cd compilation that had about 7 games. i found the file for chessmaster and copied it to disk.
i had a large porn collection around like 1991, mind you i was born in 1984
yeah great parents huh? i used to use the bbs's to download and play games. jailbreak was the first online game i ever played back around 1990. my name was "scales", it was a cool text based games. you got weapons and interacted with other characters, and the interactions were real time. so if someone else signed in, they could do battle with you.
ahhh the good old days, hookster's bbs. he had quite a few programs on there.
I think the first thing I ever pirated were Gameboy games. Now, I was 3 or 4 years old, and in Hong Kong, there were places that sold these 40 or 50 games in 1 cartridge. My dad thought it was a bargain and didn't know it was piracy, so he bought quite a few of them for my sister and I. We would continue buying them until we emigrated to Canada.
I specifically remember one of those cartridges having both Pokemon Red and Blue in them plus 28 other games.
In terms of the first time I KNEW I was pirating something. It would probably be emulating SNES roms.
LOZ: A Link to the Past for SNES. I had the entire game and emulator on an "extra large" 5MB floppy disk back in 6th grade. A friend burned it for me because I had a dial up connection and 5MB might as well have been 5 years to me then. After that I got into emulating SNES games and eventually wound up here years later
A tape when I was three to a soundtrack. The first REAL thing I pirated was The Sims and the Петька series at that time (which just went up to Return of Alaska) My PC was Pentium 3 back then and all my games worked with near no problems. I hate load times, though, The Sims took about 5-10 minutes.

Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)
I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
