    It’s easier and, most importantly, safer than ever now.

    My forming years during the age of Napster, LimeWire, and Morpheus made me learn how to format a hard drive and reinstall an operating system expertly. I had hundreds of CDs with backups of (mostly) clean songs, videos, and crackz.

    There was a 90:10 chance of getting a clean piece of media or electrogonorrhea, no matter how safe one was. However, it brought people together trading and downloading, akin to the Pokémon Go craze.
